I think I'm right. You think you're right. Now we're in a stand off. You have your area of expertise and impressive resume to back up your opinion, and I have mine.
Confidence is critical in the field of advertising. In any field really, but especially marketing. You have to believe in your idea enough to fight for it. But what happens when you cross that very fine line from confidence into arrogance? Ego can be a massive roadblock on an otherwise incredible thought trail. It's ok to be proud of your ideas, but sometimes, someone elses ideas are better. And that's ok.
Confidence allows you to feel great while also inspiring others to feel great. Example:
Ego is a mask for those lacking confidence. It puffs you up while deflating those around you. It tears your team apart because each team member feels like they are the star of the show.
Thought: Maybe if we collaboratively focused more on putting our campaign in lights rather than our individual names, we'd start seeing more success.
