Experience is valuable but it does not remove blind spots. People may see a pattern that you cannot see from your position.
One action to start with
Ask two trusted people what you do that makes their work harder. Listen without defending, look for a pattern and choose one behaviour to change.

Illustrative example. This is a short application guide to chapter 29, not the full chapter.
Bring it into the business
Ask your team where they see this pattern. Agree one decision, one owner and a date to review what has changed. Start small enough to act on what you learn.
