E2E®

As a Great Leader you know that whilst organisational structure is important and gives the organisation its Ego/Brand, it is what the individuals do in those roles that makes your organisation a GREAT organisation. Ensure that the role descriptions are just that and not somehow anchors and nooses around your employees necks, just in case they decide to operate slightly outside the square. Welcome their creativity, engage them in discussions on subject matters that interest them, to unleash the Leader in them, especially in these tough times. You might be surprised. They often have the answers!

Ego is conditional and conditioned. It operates within certain parameters of expectation. It deals with image, consistency, expectations, biases, learnt behaviours, conformity, protection, defences, pride, routine, and much more. Paradoxically, it also feels safe for the carrier as it is built around known behaviors, survival instincts, and defence mechanisms.

Essence, however, is pure. It is about passion, purpose and the authenticity of cause and objectives. Essence takes courage. It often goes against norms, at times it demonstrates unpredictable behavior, and it is often blocked, rejected, and derailed.

However, these are not times for easy options. In our opinion the current global financial meltdown was brought about by Ego and Greed.

The evolution from Ego to Essence is natural but not easy. It is natural, as it is about operating from our core self. However, it is not easy as throughout our adult life we have been trained to protect and develop our Ego, further distancing ourselves from the true opportuinities that come from our Essence.

Corporate Change and CxO Consulting offer a series of proprietary E2E® (Ego2Essence) programs, available for Leaders to support them continue their path to Essence that will take them and their organisations to Greatness with unprecedented results/outcomes by engaging their and their teams' Essence/Purpose.
