Ego is the main enemy against learning Managing skills .Once I attended one of the management seminar conducted by my previous employer in Chennai where lot of experts from IIMs ,some big companies expressed their thoughts .But I could not find anybody sharing their thoughts from his heart rather they used mostly bookish knowledge about Ego .Everybody said about Ego and their various uses in communication and negotiation skills .I only countered by saying that Ego can be measured mathmatically and one can do that perfectly ,he or she can achieve lot of management skills by simply measuring one's Ego .I had given one formula also about measuring EGO ,perhaps you will nowhere find this topics in any management books .Please do write me and I will send the formula to anybody by mail only
