Know What You Don't Know by Michael A. Roberto

This book explains how effective leaders identify and manage the blind spots and hidden risks that undermine organizations, arguing that recognizing what you don’t know is a distinct leadership skill. It lays out practical approaches—creating mechanisms for dissent, soliciting diverse and outside perspectives, testing assumptions, and building formal processes to detect early warning signals—so teams can surface overlooked problems before they escalate. Through analysis of common cognitive biases and organizational barriers, the author shows how cultural and structural changes (not just individual effort) enable better decision-making and risk prevention.
