Behind every AUTHENTIC leader is an alternate self called EGO. It is that part of ourselves, which when unknown to us, unconsciously mis-directs and mis-informs our actions as leaders. It’s a part of us that is driven more by fear of maintaining control and looking good than it is in authentically relating. 

Imagine a leader in the beginning, as a bright light beaming with enthusiasm and big ideas. Now imagine over time, (after rejections of ideas, bad quarter earnings, negative feedback, etc.) the leader’s light slowly being dimmed and covered up by a flame resistant dark cloth. The cloth represents the ego.

Reaching peak performance when a leader’s light is unconsciously being dimmed is like someone trying to witness the sunrise with their eyes closed. Ego mastery is the process of removing the “flame resistant cloth” so that a leader can once again access their innate brilliance and use it to perform at optimum levels.

There are ten principles to mastering the EGO for effective leadership. Click below to learn in more detail about Ego Mastery in our free video series.
