EGO ANIMALS – When the ego gets in the way of collaboration and leadership
The ego plays a bigger role in our working lives than we often realize. It affects our ability to collaborate, build trust, and make good decisions. In HR and management, we often see how ego can lead to defense mechanisms, conflicts, decision blindness and lack of knowledge sharing – challenges that can hinder both well-being and performance in organizations.
In his latest book “Ego Beast”, the sequel to the bestseller “When the Pack Goes Wrong”, psychologist Henrik Tingleff delves into how our instinctive behavior can hinder the good relationships we strive for – also in work life. In this webinar, Henrik will unfold the book’s key insights and provide concrete tools for how we as HR professionals and leaders can handle the influence of ego on work culture.
This webinar gives you the opportunity to:
- Understand how ego affects collaboration, decision-making, and leadership.
- Identify typical ego mechanisms that create conflicts and organizational barriers.
- Learn strategies for working constructively with the ego – both within yourself and within the organization.
- Gain insight into how HR can support a culture where psychological safety and collaboration thrive.
With the book “Ego Beast”, Henrik builds on the insights from “When the Herd Fails” and provides new perspectives on how we can navigate the challenges of the ego in both work life and management. Read the book before the webinar – buy the book here: Ego beast by Henrik Tingleff.
