Managers who look inward achieve success
Thor Ólafsson is an experienced management consultant and the founder of the company Strategic Leadership, which operates worldwide.
In this informative interview, Thor introduces us to his ideas on management and the importance of employees and managers understanding their own “ego” and its effects.
“I’m not teaching any models, methods, or tricks,” says Thor, “but rather introducing how I can be aware of myself and how I affect others as a leader.”
Managers today must understand that too much “ego” can be destructive and have far-reaching consequences for a team or company. When a leader operates solely from their own ego instead of focusing on what is best for the team or the company, energy is often directed towards something that primarily serves the individual's personal interests.
Thor is currently releasing the book Beyond Ego: The Inner Compass of Conscious Leadership. The book is available on Amazon, and from May 12-14, it will be available for free download in a digital version. The book is part of the journey that Thor and his colleagues are on, namely to make people think about their own self and provide tools to work with it. Thor also runs the website Beyondego.com, where you can find a variety of material related to this philosophy and its implementation.
