You likely read the title as Leave Your Ego At The Door. It’s a common phrase. I don’t think it works too well.
Leaving your ego at the door might mean you leave a bit of passion outside, you leave some excitement behind, you leave out some grit.
Better to read, “Leave Your Shoes At The Door.”
As in, be prepared to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, prepared to see the business or project or product through someone else’s perspective, perhaps even to adopt a new worldview.
When we enter a room with blinders on, wearing our own shoes, ready to show and tell how we view the world, we miss out on the unique proposition, we miss out on communicating our understanding of clients, of consumers, of anyone else involved in the decision-making process.
Sales happen when empathy is expressed, not when you prove you’ve got a guaranteed idea.
