Leadership Ego
In my last post, I spoke about leadership ego. A friend then asked me how to keep leadership ego in check:
I hear this message a lot, and try to live by it, but I haven't had much luck finding information on how to make this value actionable, beyond things like valuing ideas over seniority, avoiding a superstar culture, and empowering the people on your team to shine more brightly, even if it means personally being in the background.
I responded:
Random ideas that help keep leadership ego in check:
“Leadership ego is what kills most companies.”
I responded:
Random ideas that help keep leadership ego in check:
1 - keep a gratefulness log and log what you are grateful for each day.
2 - Look at those much larger and more successful than you. EG - every time I travel to larger cities, I marvel at how large the companies are by comparison to mine.
3 - I like reading business bios of people who have had great success.
4 - Study servant leadership
5 - learn something new every day.
6 - Do something that challenges you daily.
7 - know that if you "arrive", you are starting to fail. I always think of it like a mountain. Get to the top and you will head down the other side.
