Abstract

For leaders to overcome their egotistical needs and transcend to the common good, ego mastery is required. This chapter, therefore, offers practical exercises on self-awareness, self-reflection and mindfulness to improve ego mastery. Change leaders who are indeed able to master their egos, demonstrate self-directed leadership that makes independent decisions from their own convictions. This chapter pays attention to change leaders’ maintenance of their own energy. The dangers of burnout and depression, as well as possible treatments are important focus areas in this chapter. The elements of ego mastery are also linked to the relevant neuroscience facts and their implications. The chapter highlights India and the example of Gandhi’s role modelling and the ultimate influence on British colonial rule.
