HOW TO SPOT AN INCOMPETENT LEADER?

To compare the self-evaluation to the actual performances of the leader. Most of incompetent leader
are more arrogant and overconfident, narcissistic of their abilities. And more important, they are more
aware of that and proud of their narcissism!

- Are you destined to be successful?

- Are you blessed with your natural charisma?

- Is it easier for you to fool people, than for people to fool you?

Confident (how good you think you are) is in sync with competent (how good you actually are). Most
people are overconfident rather than underconfident. People that are bad at sth rate their skills as good
as those that are good at it (mainly due to lack of self-awareness)

EGO IS YOUR ENEMY

PART 1. TO WHATERVER YOU ASPIRE, EGO IS YOUR ENEMY

2. to be or to do?

To be: pride, greed, power – ego. the image, the money, the recognition, impressing people, Who do
you want to be in life

To do: be different, What is it that you want to accomplish in life, what are your set of rules (integrity)

Ego crosses out what matters and replaces it with what doesn’t.

To be or to do – life is a constant roll call.

3. becoming a student

Humility is what keeps us being aware that we don’t know enough and that we must continue to study.

Ego rushes us to the end, rationalizes the patience is for the losers, assume that we’re good enough and
we’re superior than everyone else in the room, that we’re ready to give our talents to the world.

“when the student is ready, the teacher appears”

False ideas about yourself destroy you! You have to stay humble and always learn!

4. Don’t be passionate

Purpose is the function. Passion is form over function. You shouldn’t be driven by passion, but by
reason.
We should have purpose and realism (the ability to deal with difficult situation in a practical, possible
way, rather than what you would like it to happen. Purpose is like passion with boundaries. Realism is
detachment and perspective.

Purpose is about pursuing sth outside of yourself as opposed to pleasuring yourself.

Passion is a type of insanity – trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results!

5. Get out of your own head

Ego is “imaginary audience/victory”. It makes you feel how important you are and lost in your own
imaginary and exciting world, instead of living in the real world, where we feel doubt, normal and
fearful. You second-guess difficult situations, wrap your thinking on your reputation and how other
people would look

Imaginary is dangerous when it runs wild.

You have to curb that fancy, ignore that temptation.

Living clearly and presently takes courage.

Don’t live in the haze of abstract. Live in the real, tangible world, even if – especially if – it’s
uncomfortable. Be part of it. Live on it and adjust for it! There is no one to perform for! Just work to be
done and lesson to be learned.

6. THE DANGER OF EARLY PRIDE

Pride is a lie, which convinces people that they are better than they are leading them away from other
people.

We are still striving and the striving should be our friends, not the pride or accomplishment. Pride slows
us down from striving.

7. WORK, WORK, WORK

The idea in your head doesn’t count, it’s just a good intention. You must put work and effort to produce
them.

Don’t work until you get a big break, make a name, get a validation, but work, work, work, forever and
ever. It’s all within reach, provided we are humble, patient to put in the work.

To think of a number is living with conditional future.

Our ego wants the ideas of getting attention, credit and glory, doing the fun stuff. The reality is where
we decide to put our energy decides what we’ll ultimately accomplish.

PART 2.

1. DON’T TELL YOURSELF A STORY

Instead of pretending we are living a great story, we must remain focused on the execution with
excellence. We must continue working on what got us here. Because that’s the only thing that got us
here.
Facts are better than stories and image.

2. WHAT’S IMPORTANT TO YOU?

Find your motivation. Why you do what you do? So you can stay focus on what matters to you and
forego what does not. Only then can you say no, can stay out of stupid races that don’t matter and
ignore success of other people. Because most of the time, they aren’t relevant to you. Only then can you
develop that quiet confidence!

Life requires trade-offs, but ego don’t allow it.
