It is interesting, it seems that there are a lot of people that are driven to the top…I think that is probably true of the vast majority of ultra successful (monetarily) people…they are driven by something in their lives and they will settle for nothing. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people like this that are driven because their ego is so big, that it always has to be at the front of the pack (in their mind). Well, I have been running into that quite a bit this week and it is getting to be annoying. But, this post is really about people who put ego before their job or ego before their goal. If you want to satisfy your ego, have a day, just don’t do it at the expense of others.

Should this story be accurate, it would be a great example. Jerry Yang, of Yahoo fame, may have just put the death dart into Yahoo! with his ego getting in the way. The right thing to do for Yahoo! would have been to strike a deal with Microsoft. Yeah, they are evil, they kill puppies and we all use Windows. Sounds like their top “Search” guy just left and is rumored to be heading to Redmond…that will be the straw that broke the camel’s back IMO if it is true. Watch Yahoo! implode because one joker let his ego get in the way.
