Quick answer

A manager's blind spot is precisely what they cannot see — reports, peers and the boss rate one short anonymous rubric, the self-versus-others gap fits on one page, and each cycle locks one priority change.

A manager's self-image and their team's reality often disagree. This review has reports, peers and the manager themself rate the same leadership behaviors, then merges the views into one page: where the manager is strong, where perceptions diverge, and the one change worth making next quarter.
