More About This Book

Overview

Since Its Original Publication in 2000, Leadership and Self-Deception has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon. Its sales continue to increase year after year, and the book's popularity has gone global, with editions now available in over twenty languages.

Through a story everyone can relate to about a man facing challenges on the job and in his family, the authors expose the fascinating ways that we can blind ourselves to our true motivations and unwittingly sabotage the effectiveness of our own efforts to achieve success and increase happiness.

This new edition has been revised throughout to make the story even more 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 to improve their lives and workplaces-areas such as team building, conflict resolution, and personal growth and development, to name a few.

Read this extraordinary book and discover what millions already have learned-how to consistently tap into an innate ability that dramatically improves both your results and your relationships.

The Arbingers Institute helps organizations, families, individuals, and communities worldwide to correct the trouble created by the little-known but pervasive problem of self-deception. Arbinger is led internationally by founding partners James Ferrell, Duane Boyce, Paul Smith, and Terry Warner. Headquartered in the United States, Arbinger now has operations around the world, including throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, Oceania, and Asia.

    A True "Must Read!"

    Applicable to every kind of relationship, but absolutely critical reading for every business, whether just starting out, or far along the continuum of its life cycle. Will be life changing for every reader who approaches the concepts put forth in this book with an open mind,an intensive search of the heart, and an honest look in the mirror.

    Great Addition for Any Library

    This book was very well written, I couldn't put it down and I despise reading. This book has opened my eyes to some of the faults I have as a leader in business as well as the leader of my family. I highly recommend this book to anyone. I will be reading this book yearly.

    Fantastic book on leadership

    I have read this book several times. I just finished going through it with my master mind team and now I am taking my staff at my Chiropractic clinic through this book as well. It is a fantastic look at what makes us tick, when we are in it and how to get out of it if it isn't working for us. I love this book and will read it again and again.

    Priceless - Highly Reccomend!!

    Amazing! The Arbinger Institute's Leadership and Self-Deception has changed the way I view myself, those around me, and my general outlook on the future. Not only have I been inspired to be a better person, I have learned how I can become better; and in so doing I can inspire others around me to be their best selves. Leadership and Self-Deception tells of an inspiring story about a man, Tom Callum, that is consumed within himself and has tendencies to blame others for everything negative that happens in his life. Tom finds himself with a new company, Zagrum, at a very high level of management, and in desperate need of an attitude adjustment if he plans on staying there. The current executive vice president of the company, Bud Jefferson, is given the task of introducing Tom to the reason the Zagrum is so successful, it is known as the "Self-deception and the box" theory. The book takes us through a two day training where Tom experiences, not only a change in behavior or attitude, but a complete change of heart. This change of heart comes as a result of Tom learning that there are two ways of thinking and behaving, in the box or out of the box. ".success in an organization is a function of whether we're in the box or not and our influence as a leader depends on the same thing." As Tom learns the process of what the box is, how to get out of it, and how to stay out of it his personal and work life is changed. His nature is altered to view others as people not merely as objects used in achieving a goal. By the end of the book Tom is viewing his family and co-workers in a completely new and optimistic light, something which we all desire to have! Throughout the entire book I found that I was placing myself in Tom's shoes; it enabled me to become involved with the story, rather than feeling like a spectator on the sidelines watching it all take place. As Tom changed throughout the story I found that I too was changing along with him. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking to have a better understanding of who they are now and what they can become in the future. Leadership and Self-Deception is a priceless read for those of all ages seeking to better themselves and their relationship with others!

    Good look at why we behave the way we do

    I really enjoyed this book. It was presented in a thoughtful manner that made it easy to understand and easy to apply into real-life situations. Many of the questions asked by the characters in the book were questions I had as the story moved along, so it was nice to have those answered in the course of the book.

    My only complaint: I wanted to know how the business used the principles to measure results! Guess I have to read the next book now.

    Mrs. Always Right

    My Dear Hubby said he knew he would marry Mrs. Right one day, but he did not know her first name would be Always. Well, he does say that joking but for a reason. I am very OCD and quite logical. Sorta a logical in a Mr. Spock kinda way. And even though it really helps me stay on track there is a backlash. You see I am a problem solver. Type A personality too! And in doing the things that come natural to me I tend to micro-manage too much. Then, of course, I become overwhelmed.

    I am now reading "Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box" (the 2nd edition) and am finding a few answers. Even though I do not work outside of the home nor in management, I find that there is many work principals that we use at home. I like learning how I can stop falling into the same traps and boxes. Where I do not use self-justification to get things done my way. Instead looking to see what truly will be best for the whole of the home. So, maybe? I can learn to be a lil calmer and still be that rational person. And dang it....I like being Mrs. Always Right anyway.

    After reading this book, I bought several copies for other people

    Through a story, the book leads you to take an objective look in the mirror and determine if you are guilty of self-deception.

    Most of us engage in some level of self-deception; this book helps you penetrate it and dismantle it, as painful as that may be for some of us.

    I gave this book to several people including co-workers, boss, and family. Several people (including me) were moved to tears by the depth of the insights we got about our selves and our lives.

    It's a life changing book, what you get out of it can be applied to work and other life relationships.
