GROW 3: Why Ego Won't Save Us In Crisis, How To Let Go

Episode Summary

Your ego can't accelerate your brilliance if you’re not paying attention to how you're showing up, building relationships, and improving EQ. IQ, titles, even data alone are not enough to get the support from your team to turn a crisis or a downturn into an opportunity. Growing our EQ, letting go of our ego are tools that help us navigate uncertainty. We draw inspiration from Bumble's and Airbnb's CEOs. And we question the challenges of modern busyness and the quest for balance in an ever-advancing technological landscape.

Episode Notes

Our 5 Key Take-aways:

1. Focus on caring about people and letting go of your world-view to mobilize people in a more meaningful way.
2. Embrace the energy of the situation, like water tortoises, and surrender to context during  downturns.
3. Stories are tools that help us convey how we feel, unite as teams and increase customer focus, all key to navigating uncertainty.
4. Let go of emotional burdens and focus on what you can control.
5. Reflect on the busyness of modern work life and aim for balance for more intentional collaboration.
