Does your ego lead?

Does your ego get in the way of your leadership?

It’s a tough question to ask yourself.

But an important one.

Ego isn’t just about arrogance.

It can show up as defensiveness, the need to be right, or resistance to feedback.
And when ego leads, your team suffers.

It’s totally normal for your ego to show up.

Even the best leaders struggle when ego blocks self-awareness.

It can prevent you from:

🔹 Encouraging new ideas (because someone else’s idea might be better)
🔹 Owning mistakes (because admitting fault feels like weakness)
🔹 Empowering you team (because letting go of control feels risky)

The best leaders I’ve worked with have learned to put curiosity before certainty, growth before comfort, and impact before ego.

And you can too.
