Do you ever wonder why people don’t respect you as a leader? Do you ever notice them not being motivated to help out your team at all? Chances are you don’t notice these things because you have your head in the clouds and you’re too busy on your power trip to take into account anyone else’s feelings. Hi I’m Connor Nelson and welcome to my Ted Talk. Today I’m going to be attempting to teach you how to not be an arrogant piece of shit, so if you can please put your ego aside and listen to these tips. At one moment in everyone’s lives, they get a little (a lot) carried away when in a leadership position and actually end up distancing themselves from a lot of their peers due to being under the dangerous influence of power. So if you have never been in this position, been called out for being in this position OR are in this position right now, then you’re in luck because I will be giving you some tips to help lessen your giant air-head and help you come back to earth. After reading the 13 habits of humble people by Jeff Boss, I definitely learned a few things that can better everyone as a leader no matter what level you are. Leaders with humility can easily retain relationships with others rather than annoying them away, take into account everyone’s thoughts and opinions instead of listening to no one and just doing what they want, and they are never too proud to ask for help! Something I notice a lot is that when someone who has a big head is in a power position, nobody has fun and the “leader” ends up just doing whatever they please and push everyone away because nobody wants to be around them. The simplest things can really make the biggest difference, such as taking the time to remember your manners! Remember those? As well, you have to have a level mentality, meaning you can’t go into a task as a leader thinking you’re above everybody and that they’re all here to serve you, that’s not leadership. Leadership is working together as one whole unit to complete a task as a team, not as the leader and then everyone else. Everyone is equal and everyone should be treated the same, no one is more special or more disposable than the next person. Now there have been some instances in which my confidence is mistaken for arrogance, and it was hard for me to tell how I was coming off to others, so to help you out here are 7 Subtle Signs your Confidence might come off as Arrogance.

This is a really well done blog. I feel like most people have had those moments where you may think your more superiour then another person. One thing I defintely have done in the past it talking over other, its a bad habit and overtime i've stopped doing that. . Overall I really enjoyed this blog.

This is very well put together and the topic is very true. Some people get way to controlling in group activities and want to lead everything without letting others get involved. People should work together without letting power get to their head. The humour is a good touch to make it get across in the blog.
