If asked to think of five egotistical people known to us personally, we would probably have little difficulty compiling that list. The word ego has become a shorthand for describing the narcissistic, self-serving behaviours and qualities we experience in those who have power and influence over us at work. We've become used to seeing big egos strut their stuff in meetings, corridors and boardrooms. Often, they make our working (and even personal) lives hell. Mine's Bigger Than Yours is a straight-talking examination of the ego at work. By reading this book, you will gain insight into why ego-driven individuals behave the way they do and push our buttons - often the wrong ones! Why is it that the egotistical boss gets under our skin and drives us to behave in ways we wouldn't normally behave? And why does size matter (big office, big car, big salary, big opinions) to these people? Debnam offers the answers and then offers practical tips and methods for handling the big egos in your office.
