We must understand that we are a small part of an interconnected universe. On top of all this, we have to build an organization and a system around what we do-one that is about the work and not about us.
In "The Ego Is the Enemy," author Ryan Holiday emphasizes the importance of recognizing our small role in the vast interconnected universe. This perspective encourages humility and a broader understanding of our place in the world. By acknowledging that we are part of something larger, we can better manage our aspirations and behaviors.
Additionally, Holiday suggests that successful organizations should focus on the work itself rather than the individuals involved. Building systems that prioritize collective efforts over personal egos allows for greater collaboration, innovation, and ultimately, a more impactful outcome.
