THE EGO TRAP OF CORPORATE SUCCESS

Have any questions or just wanna have a chat? Send us a text ;) Sunil explores how corporate success can become an ego trap, arguing that success doesn’t inflate ego but ego hijacks success through attachment to identity, titles, and validation. He distinguishes ambition from ego—growth versus winning—and shares the story of RA, whose rapid rise to vice president made him fragile, defensive, and unable to collaborate as feedback felt like disrespect. The script warns that ego-driven leaders and cultures breed flattery, fear, burnout, politics, talent drain, and ethical compromise. Sunil offers ways to escape: build awareness, separate identity from role, practice deliberate humility by inviting feedback and promoting strong people, and shift from competition to contribution. Subscribe for practical insights on growth, work, and the future of careers.Products I use #affiliate :Logitech Brio 4k web cam: https://amzn.to/4672AweBOYA by-PM Series mic: https://amzn.to/4tFzSwgDIGITEK® (DTR 260 GT) Gorilla Tripod/Mini: https://amzn.to/4kENML1Microphone Windscreen Sponge: https://amzn.to/4rZ5Ou9DIGITEK® LED Battery: https://amzn.to/4aTqMViDIGITEK® (DLS-006FT) Light Stand: https://amzn.to/4am5e3HPlease note: I may receive a small commission if you buy the product through this link. Any purchase is appreciated :)Support our podcast :) :https://www.buzzsprout.com/2538925/supportPodcast: Better Than yesterday by Sunil GeraAvailable on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, Podcast Index, Buzzsprout and more...Socials:Instagram: @betterthanyesterday.podcastFacebook: Better Than YesterdayHi, I’m Sunil Mohan Gera.I’m passionate about exploring ideas that help people live better — whether it’s through financial freedom, personal growth, health, or lifestyle choices.
