Mentor Mornings: Arrogance

Arrogance.

Sometimes it starts with an eye roll.

“How could they be so stupid?” I use that one a lot. It’s a personal favorite.

“Will I have to dumb down my work to win this business?”

Arrogance to cover the fear that we’re not really worthy. That we don’t measure up. Arrogance is fear turned upside down. Fear masquerading as superiority. I see it every day in myself, my colleagues, and my clients.

Do you see yourself using arrogance to shield you from fear? Have you seen arrogance in your colleagues and clients? Bring your story and let’s talk about how to resist this dangerous, relationship destroying behavior.
