Ego | The What, The Why, And The How Of Managing It For Success.

For a long time, the “ego” has received a bad rap. The words, “self centered,” “pompous,” and, “big-headed,” give the ego a negative connotation. But we often confused ego with narcissism, which is the excessive interest in one’s self and abilities and undervaluing the contributions of others. Having an ego, a healthy development of self-esteem is a vital quality to produce at the level you are capable of. The main difference being that you can be incredible, and know and be open about it, but the instant you put others down rather than lift them up you become narcissistic. On the other hand having a healthy ego will also allow you to see where you are lacking and where you need to grow. Listen and learn how to use your ego to propel yourself into new heights.
