Introduction

What is the BLA and what can I do with it?
BLA stands for Breakthrough Leadership App.
Our mission is to create the conditions for people to break through.
While everyone’s personal breakthrough is unique, all breakthroughs include a personal transformation which comes from deep introspection.
With such a transformation, people can go beyond what they thought was possible.
The BLA supports leaders with this introspection and transformation, helping them understand how their beliefs, values, experiences, and learnings influence their behavior at work along seven key dimensions.
Each dimension is made up of enablers and blockers.
Enablers are behaviors we consciously decide to apply, based in reality and applied with courage and compassion.
Blockers are automatic reactions, triggered by fears which may not be based in reality, that cause us to behave ineffectively.
The BLA asks you, a leader, to self-reflect on these enablers and blockers, thinking about how well each enabler describes you on your “best days” and how well each blocker describes you on your “worst days.” After finishing your self-reflection, you then invite others to similarly indicate how well each enabler and blocker describes you.
The BLA collects all these responses in a summary report that provides greater clarity on how others perceive your behavior as a leader. From this clear foundation, you can then create development loops in the BLA. Development loops help you work on the areas where you want to improve, by collecting open feedback from others after key events.
