## Resource

What kind of leader are you becoming when your ego is in the driver’s seat? In this powerful episode of Legacy Lounge , Brin'na Rollins-Williams unpacks one of the most difficult — and defining — transitions every leader must make: the shift from fighting to be right to fighting for what is right . Ego-driven leadership is subtle. It disguises itself as confidence, decisiveness, or expertise. But underneath, it can quietly erode trust, silence innovation, and damage team culture. Magnetic leadership, on the other hand, is built on humility, curiosity, and the courage to admit when you’re wrong. Brin'na shares a vulnerable story from her time as a District Senior Director at Target, where she caught herself defending a position she no longer believed in — simply to protect her pride. What happened next became a turning point not just for her leadership, but for her team’s trust and performance. This episode will challenge you to examine your leadership identity, your ego triggers, and the legacy you’re building every time conflict arises. Key Leadership Takeaways 1. Get Curious Instead of Defensive When challenged, pause. Ask: “Tell me more about what you’re seeing.” Curiosity builds connection. Defensiveness builds walls. 2. Ask Better Internal Questions Shift from “How can I win?” to “What’s the best outcome for everyone involved?” 3. Separate Your Worth from Your Ideas Your value as a leader is not tied to being right 100% of the time. It’s tied to your ability to lead effectively. 4. Trust Is Built in Micro-Moments When leaders choose principles over pride, teams respond with greater trust, honesty, and innovation. Connect with Brin'na at https://www.legacyfulfilled.com/
