No Ego

Outline

No Ego (2017) argues that workplace drama, excuses, and resistance to change cost organisations enormous time and energy. Cy Wakeman explains why traditional leadership approaches that focus on engagement and keeping everyone happy often backfire, and shows leaders how to cut through ego, build accountability, and help people take ownership of their results. The book offers practical tools for creating calmer and more effective teams.

• Workplace drama, excuses, and resistance to change drain organisations of a great deal of time and energy.
• Leadership approaches built around keeping everyone happy and engaged often backfire instead of improving results.
• Cutting through ego is the starting point for building real accountability on a team.
• Leaders can help people take ownership of their results instead of blaming others or circumstances.
• Practical tools in the book help leaders create calmer, more effective teams.
