On the Ego: A Huffington Post Article

Matt Teney, author of The Mindfulness Edge and Serve to Be Great, explores two examples of why a self-serving leader harms a business in his article for the Huffington Post titled "Why Egos Are Bad for Business, and What to Do About It."  Teney interviewed Ken Jennings and John Stahl-Wert, authors of The Serving Leader, on how egotistical leaders harm a company.
