offers some very workable solutions.

David Marcum & Steven Smith Join Lavin Roster
Authors of the Forthcoming Business Book Egonomics
How do great leaders use their egos differently
than others? David Marcum and Steven Smith answer this vital
question in their forthcoming new book, Egonomics: What
Makes Ego Our Greatest Asset (or Most Expensive Liability).
Invested into every key business decision is the power of
ego. But how will we know if our ego is a liability or an
asset, and how can we leverage the power of ego, while avoiding
its pitfalls? Egonomics is already drawing raves
as a breakthrough study in organizational behaviour that
will turn humility, curiosity, and veracity into the playbook
for a new generation of businesspeople, or for an "old"
generation ready to think differently.
