Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box
The Arbinger Institute
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Rank: 1110
Leadership and Self-Deception is the first book to identify a single,
underlying cause of every form of leadership failure.
Through the story of
Toma shluck in his managers wordsreaders
discover that identifying and treating individual leadership problems as
if they were separate and distinct is not enough to transform people into
successful leaders.
The authors suggest that the key to leadership lies
not in what we do, but in how we "are." They explore this compelling
secret: Self-deception is the central player and trap underlying all
leadership failures, relationship issues, and performance problems in
organizations.
Leaders who live in the box of self-deception are trapped:
they cannot lead, no matter how hard they try and no matter how many
skills and techniques they employ.
With convincing examples, the authors
show clearly how self-deception operates and how to overcome it. While
other books cover people skills, this one goes deeper, fully illuminating
the secret to leadership success.
