And some say that’s good; it takes big egos to make things happens.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eNot so, according to Art Horn, an executive coach who leads a sales force development company. Just listen to what the people who work for these big egos have to say: “John is a smart guy and knows what he’s doing, but his swollen ego keeps subverting what we’re trying to do as a department.“ Or “Mary needs to stop focusing on her own star qualities and actually help the people who report to her. We’re here to drive results, not admire her.” \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn a step-by-step, practical manner, \u003ci\u003eBeyond Ego\u003c\/i\u003e shows leaders how to move beyond ego in their day-to-day leadership tasks, thereby achieving engaged, inspired, committed, and productive teams and businesses. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHorn teaches them to self-manage, by:\u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003esetting aside personal judgments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ebeing sensitive to the cravings and needs of individual employees\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efocusing not on blame but on the actions it will take to produce results\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003eInfluential leaders at their best, according to Horn, listen for commitment and pull it out of people, as required.
