Larger Image   Leadership and Self-Deception Getting Out of the Box Author's name: Arbinger Institute IB.com Catalog Number: 303 Description: Since its original publication nine years ago, Leadership and Self-Deception has become an international word-of-mouth phenomenon. The book’s central insight—that the key to leadership lays not in what we do, but in who we are—has proved to have powerful resonances not only for organizational leadership, but in readers’ personal lives as well. This new edition has been revised throughout to make the story more readable and compelling. And drawing on the extensive correspondence the authors have received over the years they have added a section that outlines the many ways that readers have been using Leadership and Self-Deception, focusing on five specific areas: hiring, teambuilding, conflict resolution, accountability, and personal growth and development. Readers will discover what millions already have—how to consistently tap into and act on their innate sense of what’s right, dramatically improving all of their relationships.

Excerpts

Leadership and Self-Deception "For too long, the issue of self-deception has been the realm of deep-thinking philosophers, academics, and scholars. The public remains generally unaware of the issue. That would be fine except that self-deception is so pervasive that it touches every aspect of life. Self-deception actually determines one's experience in every aspect of life." "To give you an idea of what's at stake, consider the following analogy. And infant is learning how to crawl. She begins by pushing herself backward around the house. Backing herself around, she gets lodged beneath the furniture. There she thrashes about, crying and banging here little head against the sides and undersides of the pieces. She is stuck and hates it. She does the only thing she can think of to get herself out - she pushes even harder, which only worsens her problem. "If this infant could talk, she would blame the furniture for her troubles. After all, she is doing everything she can think of. The problem couldn't be hers. But of course the problem is hers, even though she can't see it. While it's true that she's doing everything she can think of, the problem is precisely that she can't see how she's the problem. Having the problem she has, nothing she can think of will be the solution."
