This workshop provides leaders with practical tools and strategies to identify and overcome ego-driven behaviours that may undermine the success of the organisation's structures and processes.

This keynote helps leaders understand how their own ego and mindset can hinder the implementation of effective structures and processes within their business. This awareness can help them shift their perspective and approach to enable a more agile and adaptable organisation. Understanding ego in the context of leadership and organisational behaviour is crucial. Leaders with a balanced ego can inspire and guide their teams effectively, while those with an unchecked ego may hinder collaboration, stifle innovation, and create a toxic work environment. Recognising and managing ego is key to fostering a healthy, productive, and agile workplace culture. One significant barrier to achieving agility is the ego of leaders. In this keynote, we will explore how ego and mindset can hinder the implementation of effective structures and processes and how becoming aware of these tendencies can help us shift our approach to create more agile and adaptable organisations. The Role of Ego in Leadership Ego can significantly influence behaviour and decision-making. When a person’s ego is dominant, they may prioritise their own needs, desires, and recognition over those of others. This can manifest in behaviours like seeking validation, asserting dominance, or resisting criticism and feedback. When leaders prioritise their needs over the collective success of their team, it creates a rigid and hierarchical environment that stifles agility. If leaders cultivate self-awareness by regularly reflecting on their actions and decisions and seek feedback from teir team and peers to gain different perspectives they can balance its effects. Recognising that leadership is about serving the team and organisation first is key. Embracing Humility & Collaboration Humility is the antidote to ego. It allows leaders to recognise that they do not have all the answers and that the best ideas often come from collaborative efforts. Agile organisations thrive on the collective intelligence and creativity of their teams. Decentralising Decision-Making Ego-driven leaders often centralise decision-making, believing that they must have the final say in every matter. This slows down processes and inhibits the organisation's ability to respond swiftly to changes. By empowering and trusting the team to allow them to make informed decisions within their areas of expertise, not only are processes sped up but also accountability and ownership is enhanced. Encouraging Adaptability & Innovation An agile organisation is one that continually evolves and innovates. Ego can hinder this by creating a fear of failure or a reluctance to deviate from the status quo. By promoting a growth mindset within your organisation and encouraging experimentation and viewing failures as learning opportunities rather than setbacks and supporting the team in taking calculated risks without the fear of negative repercussions innovation can be maximised. Being open to new ideas and approaches and being willing to pivot when necessary to stay aligned with evolving market conditions is key. Listening & Learning Ego can close leaders off from valuable feedback and insights from their team and the external environment. This can result in missed opportunities and blind spots. But by practicing active listening and seeking out the value the perspectives of your team, customers, and industry experts you can become more conscious and effective as a leader. Ego is a significant barrier to creating agile structures and processes within an organisation. By recognising and addressing the impact of ego on our leadership style, we can foster a more collaborative, adaptive, and resilient organisation. Leading with humility, prioritising collective success, and embracing change are key to enabling agility and driving sustained performance. < Back to Portfolio
