Question 1

Describe a gap that you see between your real and ideal self.Give an example of how this gap plays out in your life.

Accepted Answer

Possible response: There is a gap between my ideal self,who wants to be open to ideas from others,and my real self,who sometimes jumps to conclusions and fails to trust others' ideas.A real-life example is a recent report prepared by a subordinate.At first glance,I saw the report as "all wrong" and immediately set about redoing it myself.However,looking more closely I realized the person had done a much better job than I had first thought.She had made some minor mistakes in the beginning that I perceived as tell-tale signs of inadequacy,but after a couple pages,I appreciated how thoughtful and creative her work was.Instead of redoing the report,I made a few changes and congratulated her on opening my eyes to a new perspective.This failure to be patient and to trust is a major gap in my real self/ideal self that I aim to remedy in the future.

Question 3

What does Chade-Meng Tan of Google mean when he says a leader should operate with an "egoless ego"?

Accepted Answer

Possible response: Meng thinks that leaders should have a seemingly contradictory attitude toward ego.A leader needs a sizeable ego as expressed in the self-confidence and drive required to get the job done.At the same time,the leader can't let ego get in the way of cooperating with others.A leader must work with people,truly listen to them,respect their ideas,and let them take the lead when the situation calls for it.This requires a leader to be able to submerge his or her ego and become "egoless." The balance of an ego/egoless state is one of Meng's true measures of a great leader.
