Ego risk: Why Innovation Fails - Teague Hopkins
The document discusses ego risk as a major reason why innovation fails. It defines ego as a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance, and notes that ego risk is worse for innovators due to uncertainty and ambiguity. Some ways to manage ego risk include focusing on self-improvement before the team, maintaining objectivity and mindfulness, and using the minimum effective dose of intervention. Managing culture and habits can also help reduce ego risks that might undermine innovation efforts.
