✦ Synopsis

1. That voice in your head does more damage than you realize: our preoccupation with self-worth; what hijacks our behavior; recognizing when we are triggered -- 2. No, it's not just your personality: we learned to behave this way; what matters more than our ego; correcting our behaviors before they happen -- 3. Workplace politics are your fault too: my reactions create our dysfunction; how and why we stop trusting; the us vs. them epidemic; the dollar cost of cultural breakdowns -- 4. Stop pretending you're not vulnerable: the importance of emotional safety; the power of vulnerability and empathy; how to create a safe space -- 5. You're not really listening, are you?: the toxic habit of being right; reversing downward spirals; creating constructive communication -- 6. Your ego loves an enemy: the destructive effects of the "offensive" ego; taking back our creative power -- 7. We can't talk about "that" (meet Amy Anuk): our egosystem's biases and blind spots; our behavioral patterns shape the course of our life; the "how" makes the "what" possible -- 8. "Those" people have something important to teach you: even the boss feels powerless; taking responsibility for my part, no matter what; a rock can change the course of a river -- 9. Tell me again, what gets you up in the morning?: the inspiration of a noble goal; the power of commitment in the face of failure -- 10. Why it all matters: working on your ego is the highest act of leadership.
