Let Go of Your Ego

A note to young leaders.

You are sleeping with the enemy.

It’s your ego.

Ego is a double-edged sword. It’s what gives you the confidence to pick up the phone and make that cold call. But it’s also what can make you self-centred and self-absorbed.

Think of ego as a raft that helps you cross the river. As soon as you’ve crossed the river, it becomes a burden.

Stop carrying your ego around with you, it will only weigh you down.
