Leaders Must Abandon Their Egos

Jenny Roper | Apr 2018

Having a large ego might be necessary to become CEO but will ultimately hold an organisation back.

Leaders must abandon their egos and be truly authentic to be most effective, according to Isaac Getz, professor of leadership and innovation at ESCP Europe Business School and co-author of Freedom, Inc.

Speaking exclusively to HR magazine ahead of the publication of his forthcoming book Leadership Without Ego, co-authored with Robert Davids and Brian Carney, Getz stressed the importance of leaders empowering staff to think and make decisions for themselves, and the importance of abandoning ego to achieve this.
