3 Rules No One Wants to Follow: The Ego Paradox
About this episode
Join Us In Orlando This December: https://qrco.de/bffhTX
When the truth hurts, the answer is more truth. In this episode we break down brutally honest self-assessment, why ego blocks feedback, and how leaders can seek truth over comfort to actually improve. You’ll hear field stories (SEAL debriefs, leadership training), practical tactics for getting real feedback when your boss or peers aren’t giving it, how to self-audit without excuses, and an Immediate Action Drill you can do this week: identify one uncomfortable truth, say it out loud, and build an action plan. Humility isn’t weakness—it’s the fastest path to growth, at work and at home.
