Is ego always a bad thing? Or can it serve a leader when kept in check? Unchecked ego can limit growth, damage relationships, and blind us to feedback. But healthy confidence can give leaders the courage to make difficult decisions, take responsibility, and lead with conviction. The real question...

This is why I love Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who just admitted he was wrong about his competitor Anthropic and said even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform. "A major failure mode is when the ego-to-ability ratio becomes far greater than one. If your ego gets too high relative to your ability, you break the feedback loop with reality. In AI terms, you break your reinforcement learning loop. You want a strong learning loop, which means taking responsibility, minimizing ego, and doing whatever task needs to be done, whether it is grand or humble." We always joke that Elon is always right, but he maintains a low ego-to-ability ratio so he can keep a good feedback loop with reality.

Elon Musk: CEOs should be ready to take on any task, no matter how humble. “Whether you're a CEO or any role in a startup, you do whatever it takes to succeed and just always be smashing your ego. Internalize responsibility. A major failure mode is when ego to ability ratio is >> 1. If your ego to ability ratio gets too high, you're going to basically break the feedback loop to reality. In AI terms you'll break your RL loop. You want to have a strong RL loop, which means internalizing responsibility and minimizing ego. And you do whatever the task is, no matter whether it's grand or humble.” Interview at Y Combinator, June 16, 2025

Elon Musk reveals the ego-to-ability ratio that predicts whether someone will fail "You do whatever it takes to succeed, and just always be smashing your ego. Internalize responsibility. A major failure mode is when your ego-to-ability ratio is greater than one" "If your ego-to-ability ratio gets too high, you break the feedback loop to reality. In AI terms, you break your RL loop. You want a strong RL loop, which means internalizing responsibility and minimizing ego" "That's why I prefer the term engineering as opposed to research, and I don't want to call xAI a lab, I just want it to be a company. Whatever the simplest, lowest-ego terms are, those are generally a good way to go. You want to close the loop on reality hard"

ego and confidence are the two special ingredients in accomplishing great things think of it like a flywheel. a constant positive feedback loop 1) have MASSIVE ego and supreme confidence in your abilities 2) this will allow you to take risks more readily than someone who wouldn't have the ego + confidence 3) this means you're more likely to succeed in your steps into the abyss 4) which will cycle back into boosting your confidence and ego 5) which will mean you take even greater risks 6) which will mean you will accomplish even greater feats. of course, with greater risk there is also a greater chance of loss, but here's the kicker: only those with EXTREMELY high confidence in their abilities will be able to brush off bigger and bigger losses, reassess their situation, adapt, and roll the dice again. literally all you need is ego and confidence.

"If you take away ego, things can get done. Katie Taylor is someone who doesn't have an ego. We've made so many fights in the past where I've said to fighters, no one's ever remembered who walked second in a fight that they won. We're in a sport dominated by ego. If you can step away from that and you can make rational decisions... who cares?" Frank Smith on what makes the difference in negotiating major fights.

Honest feedback may get you fired in the moment but it can open doors to real growth and respect In fashion or any creative field speaking your truth with confidence beats silence Even when you're young or new your fresh eyes can save a legend from becoming irrelevant Stay bold

The first question to ask yourself is: Have you learned to lead yourself first? Can you control your emotions, keep your word, admit when you’re wrong, listen without becoming defensive, and take responsibility for your actions? Because leadership in a relationship starts with self-leadership. Without it, what you call leadership can easily become control.

Learning to remove ego and HONESTLY take inventory of my daily wins & losses... you can make excuses... you can ignore the obvious... you can lie to yourself ... but whether or not YOU'RE keeping score... the game is and it can not lie.

Loneliness is a silent killer. Shed your ego & engage in a healthy banter with anyone of your choice to calm your brain. It could be your panwallah. I do it. Once or twice a week I spend some time with the security guards chit chit-chatting with them. It can be very refreshing.

Ego is not always bad. It gives you confidence, push you to work hard, and helps you survive tough times. But when ego gets too strong and controls you, it makes you stick too much to things, compare yourself with others all the time, and start useless fights and problems.

hot take: people who make fun of others recording in the gym have the worst form in the room. you’re too proud to check yourself on camera but not too proud to ego lift with a curved spine? make it make sense. do you record your sets? yes or no.

7/ The ego is insatiable and creates endless suffering. Identity locks you into past behaviors: "I'm depressed" or "I have trauma." The more you strengthen this narrative, the harder it is to change. Instead, observe your thoughts without judgment—this creates the space for growth.

Rick Pitino was asked what stops people from being great. His answer was one word. "Ego stops greatness. I call it edging greatness out." "In a spiritual sense, ego is edging God out. But ego is edging greatness out." And he made a key distinction: "I'm not talking about confidence. You have to be a confident person." "But ego really gets you to where you think you've arrived. You think you know it all. You stop learning. You stop listening." That's the trap. Confidence keeps you hungry. Ego convinces you that you've already made it. You lose your hunger and humility. "Learning and listening are important for great leaders. Great leaders have to listen and they have to continue to learn and surround themselves with people that are better than them." EGO = Edging Greatness Out The moment you think you've arrived is the moment you stop growing. Stay confident. Stay humble. Never stop learning. (🎥Lewis Howes )

The best advice I can offer in situations like these is stay in your car and drive away. Nothing good comes from leaving your vehicle. Even if it bruises your ego. A prosecutor will ask why you didn't stay in your car and drive away when the guy isn't attacking the car trying to get to you, even in a stand your ground state.

"I just think Dana’s ego is getting a little bit out of control. I think he’s totally switched off from the UFC. I’m pissed off, to be honest, with the media side of things. Every time Dana’s in a scrum, it’s like these reporters are scared to say the real thing. And when they do ask questions, Dana’s all sort of like, ‘Who gives a shit?’ I give a shit, so give us a f***ing answer, baldy, and take your ego away." Darren Till sounds off on the state of the UFC.
