EGO..........


What impression do we get when we hear that a person is egoistic.... This gives us a very negative image of a person.... Ego has not been considered to be a virtue of a man, it was considered not to be good........ But one of the meanings of ego also is self consciousness, which will make the person work for his development, his zeal to be important will make him work for it and improve that person....... Usually, this leads to the improvement, if he is part of a organisation, because we always hear that the growth of the company or an organisation lies in the hands of all the people who constitute the organisation.......So growth of an individual will lead to growth of the organisation......... This raises questions about Team work.....

AYN RAND in her book Anthem stresses the concept of individuality or I. According to Rand, the individual "must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life." This questions the concept of Leadership and the concept of team work, which are of higher relevance these days........
