The Silent Killer: Your Ego and Your Career

from The Rational Workforce

We all feel it: The sting of being overlooked. The rush to defend ourselves. The quiet resentment after a meeting or message that just didn’t sit right. But here’s the hard truth: Not every reaction points to injustice. Sometimes it’s not them... it’s your ego. Today's episode presents a practical framework to help you decode what you’re feeling at work and why. It’s not therapy and it’s not fluff. It’s discernment for leaders, job seekers, and anyone who’s ever left a meeting replaying every word. If you want to lead with clarity, grow with humility, or just stop sabotaging your own progress, start here. 0:00 - Intro 0:33 - The Ego & Your Mojo: A Personal Story 2:20 - Fighting FOMO: The Power of Stepping Away 4:15 - My Background & My Journey as a Tech Exec 5:00 - Tips for Navigating Stages of Your Carer 7:15 - Tips for Job Seekers 9:16 - Parting Advice
