Egonomics is a must read September 6, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
As a people strategist and coach, I am always looking for best practices and innovative ideas. Egonomics clearly fits into those categories. Dave Marcum and Steve Smith have taken one of the oldest concepts in the world and given it a practical, modern twist. Too often, an overactive ego can get in the way of peak performance (personally and organizationally). Without going too deeply into the academic background of their research, Marcum and Smith provide the foundation for coaching the people who are going into the talent pipeline of today's generation. Bottom line: Egonomics should be required reading for anyone thinking they want to be a part of the next generation of leadership.

WOW! This is a great book! It has provided me with an ability to engage in a practical assessment of where and how my ego is impacting my success. The book has relevance for me as a business leader, father, and husband. Thank you Dave and Steve for your thoughtful and inspiring examination of a massively underestimated dynamic.
Great Follow - Up To Good To Great September 4, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Egonomics operationalizes the idea of leadership humility that Jim Collins brought out in Good To Great and presents it as a quality of strength rather than weakness. The book really uncovers the hidden costs of ego and what the alternative looks like. Each of the warning signs discussed in the book -- showcasing brilliance, being defensive, being comparative, and seeking acceptance -- I have seen many times over in my career (and been guilty of myself) and they have always gotten in the way of effectiveness. Egonomics is a must read.
A must read for Leaders September 4, 2007
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
David Marcum and Steve Smith may have stumbled on a perspective many ignored for its complexity and raw form. I find the ideas insightful and relevant to Leaders in many levels. It is a great discussion on EGO and its unique ability to shape the environment. Egonomics transforms a hard to tackle topic into an everyday measure of performance and business relevance.
Egonomics is an awareness of truth in Leadership.
Terrific Read! September 4, 2007

I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to read Egonomics before it's published. I can't stop talking to others in leadership positions about it. I support and believe whole heartedly the advise given in the book. The authors presentation of their findings is straight forward and easy to digest. As the Founder and CEO of a small business for 18 years I found the book helpful in transitioning my thinking. Also, this is a perfect follow up read to Jim Collin's book "Good to Great". The logic behind their findings should be taken seriously by all leaders who really are seeking to be level 5 leaders. It makes total sense and is attainable if you have the commitment and willingness to have your company grow and suceed long-term. THANK YOU!!!
