ChangeThis - Executive Hubris
ChangeThis is a new media publishing firm. Every month they publish so-called manifestos that cover a variety of topics involving the creation and marketing of ideas. The authors are top-notch and the manifestos are beautifully typeset PDFs that look good on the screen and on paper. This month’s serving of ChangeThis features a reality check from author Mathew Hayward:
Executive Hubris: How to Check Your Ego and Avoid Ruining Your Company and Your Career By Mathew Hayward
Hayward lays it out plainly: “If you are going to have a successful career and life, you are going to have to learn to check your ego.” Using examples such as Buffett and Welch to show that CEOs don’t have to have huge egos to succeed (and Dean Kamen of Segway as an example of hubris at work), Hayward offers ways to keep an eye on your ego while pushing the limits of success.
