Inflated Egos and The Dreaded Coaching Bubble

Success can lead to an inflated ego, creating the illusion that we have the perfect recipe for being a successful leader. However, leadership revolves around people, who constantly evolve. Thinking we have discovered the ultimate way to lead people fails to adapt. Letting our ego dictate our perceptions and beliefs means that we risk compromising our future success by allowing past accomplishments to define our mindset. This episode talks about how coaches can avoid this dreaded coaching bubble by not allowing their egos to take control.
