In Leading Beyond Ego Podcast Episode 3, Thor Olafsson interviews Katrijn van Oudheusden about Selfless Leadership.

‘We've all been conditioned from the time we're born into this world to create a constructed ego. It's not our fault that it happened, it just happened. We need the identity that comes with it, but when we fully and totally identify with it, is where problems are created and you're saying we can make the step to realise that this construct is a bit of an illusion even though we need it, we can also let go of it and not have it control our lives. We realise that if you relax into it and just allow yourself to be lived, all judgement falls away, all guilt and shame fall away.’’  - Katrijn van Oudheusden
 

Rocker turned Airline CEO, Birgir Jonsson, talks to Thor Olafsson.

They talk about how principles in teams are similar, whether in business or in a band! And what do you get from moving beyond ego as a leader? It is like a good drug!

Getting around the ego defences in business isn’t easy - you need to be open to the idea that as a drummer you need other band members to fulfil your dream to be a successful band!

 There is some top advice for aspiring conscious leaders:

 - Be humble

- Lead from the back

- Let your people shine

- Communicate your needs honestly about how to tame your own ego

- Get a coach - you can't do it by yourself
