  • L'ego est l'ennemi : maîtrisez votre plus grand adversaire

    Creator

    Holiday, Ryan

    Abstract

    L'ego peut déjouer les plans de carrière des talents les plus prometteurs et mener des fleurons de l'économie à leur perte. C'est lui — l'ennemi principal de vos ambitions. En début de carrière, il entrave l'apprentissage et le développement des compétences. Le succès peut le conduire à l'aveuglement; à l'inverse, il amplifie l'importance de chaque échec et rend la récupération difficile. Bref, à tout moment, l'ego est susceptible de vous bloquer le chemin vers la réussite.
