And very thought provoking. I've been mulling it over since I initially read it. I would like to add something. If you find yourself in the unfortunate position of working for someone with an inflated ego, you maybe should consider cutting your losses and moving on. I have been in this position before and tried my darndest to find creative ways of communicating – deference, directness, making points as questions, etc. If you desire to be anything but an absolute "yes man" then working for a IEL (inflated ego leader) is futile. They are not open to feedback. And in fact, their own IEL tendencies eventually cause them to lash out at everyone around them too.

Just as you mention having trouble coaching IELs, I would suggest working for them is equally troublesome. Curious about yours and others thoughts on this too. Thanks again for the great post!
