Most leaders waste energy defending their ego and appearing competent instead of improving themselves. When leaders stop trying to prove they're right and focus on getting better, their companies scale. Ego keeps both the leader and business small.
This is why most businesses don't progress. Real leaders don't prove themselves, they improve themselves. Most business leaders are obsessed with looking competent, defending decisions, explaining themselves, protecting their ego. But growth doesn't come from being right, it comes from getting better. The moment you stop trying to prove yourself, you start progressing yourself. Ego keeps you small, improvement scales you and your business.
