Have you ever found yourself at a boardroom table, staring down the barrel of an inflated ego threatening to derail your meeting—maybe even your business objectives? We have! But in today's episode, we're tearing off the mask to confront the 'hidden dragons' of ego head-on. We share our own experiences and strategies for engaging these challenging personalities with honesty and a touch of humility, all while maintaining a collaborative spirit. It's a candid discussion that goes beyond the usual leadership advice, diving into the nitty-gritty of fostering environments where egos are checked at the door, and collective goals take center stage. In this episode, we discuss the following: 1. How to recognize and acknowledge the presence of egos in the workplace. 2. Addressing egos through humble inquiry and open dialogue. 3. The importance of cultivating a culture that values shared success over individual heroism.  This episode is sponsored by LucidPointAre you struggling to take your IT organization to the next level?We help our customers do so with confidence.
