It is crucial to be able to take feedback and adapt accordingly. But on the other hand it's not a democracy. Other people's ego is at play as well, if you're a leadership position having a plan and staying consistent is the most important thing, even if some spots are not optimal.

To take an extreme end of that spectrum, look at Elon Musk. He's a ******* ******** with an ego the size of Mars and you can always criticize him for making a car without a simple way to open the glove box but on the other hand his achievements are undeniable.

You don't have to be this level of ***** but obviously you want to hold your fort otherwise you'll be eaten alive by your team 😵‍💫

I love this post - our egos can indeed be our enemy! Great examples of how that looks like in practice.

Thanks for the mention!
