TED Talk Tuesday #139 – Leadership without ego

Watching TED Talks is a popular pastime at CN&CO. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. This week’s talk, which is about leadership without ego, was posted by Colin, who says…

“There are some great stories and lessons in this TED Talk about leaders who successfully ‘pull’ people along with them, literally getting into the trenches and demonstrating how to do things rather than standing at the top and yelling down orders.

“Bob Davids also tells an interesting story about Dwight Eisenhower and a chain, hence the feature image.”

Now that your curiosity has been piqued, you have no choice but to check it out..
