The Alignment Table

Authority vs Ego


Listen Later

Most people in leadership can recognise ego in others immediately. Very few can recognise it in themselves.

In Episode 27 of The Alignment Table™, Sharon Preston explores one of the most important and least honestly examined distinctions in senior leadership: the difference between genuine authority and ego-led leadership. Not the obvious version of ego. The subtle one. The kind that looks like high standards, like perfectionism, like caring deeply about the work. The kind that is genuinely difficult to see from the inside and genuinely costly to the people around you.

This episode explores:

  • what genuine authority actually is
  • how ego-led leadership shows up in ways most people never recognise
  • how to tell the difference from the inside
  • what shifts when the move from one to the other is genuinely made.
