EGO or ECHO

I have seen many times in business that people need to tell others how great they are or what is going on it their life. The person's EGO is so huge that it absorbs all aspects of his/her life and they begin to think they are the single most important part of their community. The problem is this EGO becomes and ECHO and all people hear is them talking about how great they are and they begin to block out value they might bring. It is a funny thing because people with these problems really think that people care about what is going on in their life but most people find themselves asking how does this impact me?

True Leaders do not have this problem as they will traditionally put other peoples' best interest first rather than their own. As a leader you have to be humble, you have to genuinely care for others around you and be willing to adapt and change. A leader is willing put their personal ego on hold and help others around them first knowing this will translate into long term success.
