Leadership and Self Deception

A fascinating book--an absolute Must Read for anyone in the work force, especially those in management or leadership. Excellent too, for anyone in a significant or difficult relationship. Readers come away with a new outlook on the effects their management/relationship style has on others, and what drives and motivates people, and the prices we pay along the way, sometimes without even realizing it. Learn the secret of how to relate to others and change difficult relationships for the better. I highly recommend this book.

Though provoking book

I do not normally read this type of book but it was recommended as an excellent title. It's content is told via illustrative stories, was a fast read, and truly gave me insights into my own personal and professional relationships. I have to agree that it was an excellent book.

Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box

I have read over thirty books on leadership and management. This book gives tremendous insight into relationships. It is by far one of the best, most eye opening books I have ever read.

Great!

The first of a two-parter, the sequel being "The Anatomy of Peace," this focused on resolving conflict at work. It has elements of spousal conflict as well in it and recommends a different approach to the work environment than is typically the case.

Often we get so caught up in how to get promotions that we forget those who help us get there. We forget that the Sam Waltons of the world actually succeed easier and more completely than the authoritarian types because they understand how people work. This book helps us, in a primarily work setting, to see how we often self-destruct and what to do about that. Essentially, what we learn is that the golden rule, and loving our neighbors as ourselves is the best approach. How we short-circuit that, and how to correct it, is what this book is about. I purchased several copies to hand out to co-workers.

The "disease" of self-deception (acting in ways contrary to what one knows is right) underlies all leadership problems in today's organizations, according to the premise of this work. However well intentioned they may be, leaders who deceive themselves always end up undermining their own performance.

This straightforward book explains how leaders can discover their own self-deceptions and learn how to escape destructive patterns. The authors demonstrate that breaking out of these patterns leads to improved teamwork, commitment, trust, communication, motivation, and leadership.
