🎙️ Episode 6: When Ego Gets in the Way (and What to Do About It)

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Les Morgan, Chief Operating Officer at Hind Management / Sudima Hotels, for a thoughtful conversation about a topic that quietly influences so much of how we lead: ego.

We explore how ego shows up in leadership—sometimes as overconfidence, sometimes as defensiveness—and what to do when it starts getting in the way. Les reflects on the subtle ways ego can affect decision-making, how leaders can stay grounded in moments of tension, and the role of self-awareness in keeping your ego in check.

We also talk about managing egos in others, the difference between confidence and arrogance, and why leading with humility isn’t about being soft—it’s about being secure.

This episode is honest, down-to-earth, and full of small shifts that can make a big difference.
