510: The Ego Trap In Leadership. The Need To Lead Pt.2. With Dave Berke.
>Join Jocko Underground<The second part to The Need to Lead, by Dave Berke. How ego quietly sabotages leaders and teams. When we see others’ failures as our wins, frustration and judgment take over. We talk about how that mindset damages trust, limits growth, and creates division. The conversation shows how shifting from ego to ownership not only builds stronger relationships but also unlocks the real strength of leadership—helping others rise instead of hoping they fall.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/jocko-podcast/exclusive-content
