蒙特利尔—在汽车上，盲点是指后视镜和侧视镜无法看到的路面区域。司机必须时刻警惕它们——以及它们所掩盖的潜在死亡风险。

企业也可能存在盲点——代价也同样高昂，导致公司过度投资于高风险业务尝试，无法利用新兴机会。成功的领导者会十分仔细地识别公司的盲点，引入相应机制确保不会因此造成伤害。

Great article, Estelle, as always! Another simple but powerful method I like to use during meetings is the Anti-Problem. I simply ask my colleagues to identify ways to solve the problem opposite to our current problem. It then becomes easier to see where a current solution might be going astray or where an obvious solution isn’t being applied.

Maybe by asking "How should we not innovate?" or "How not to survive next year?", companies could identify those blind spots and seize new opportunities.
