137. Leading from Ego
Episode description
In this episode of Sit Crooked, Talk Straight, Katie and Leanne tackle a complex yet timely topic: ego-driven leadership. Inspired by current events, political figures, and their personal experiences, they explore how ego affects leaders at every level—from CEOs to politicians and beyond. They discuss the dangers of letting ego dictate decisions, the toxic ripple effects it creates in team dynamics, and the toll it can take on organizational culture.
Through stories of their own leadership struggles, including moments of imposter syndrome and navigating corporate toxicity, Katie and Leanne emphasize the importance of self-awareness in leadership. They reference notable leaders, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as examples of how even the most respected figures are not immune to the influence of ego.
