Ego vs effectivity by far is the toughest part for me.
Take a code review for instance, how does one criticize other's work without crushing their motivation? Choice of words in some cases will be more important than the message it conveys.

And the other way around: I need to keep in check that whenever I propose an alternative solution or drive a change it comes from purely technical perspective, not my own bias or personal goals.

Do you can talk openly with other people about how they want to be critise , with out they take it personally? I think this is not easy. Just because you know some one dont want to be mean, is not enough that you dont take it personally. its just the human Nature.
