Great Book on leadership!
"Leadership and Self-Deception" is one of the best leadership books I have read in years! Written in fiction format it is easy to read and to understand! The concepts, while simple, are the most profound thoughts on leadership that are currently out there today. The Arbinger Institute does a great job of penning this tale of a guy who's personal life is a wreck and things are getting out of control at the office too. Realizing we are "in the box" is the first step, and then learning what to do to get out of the box is the key to success. Two major themes emerge quickly - "Seek first to understand, then to be understood." And "Due unto others as you would have them do unto you." The twist is understanding the psychological damage that occurs when we all remain in our box and refuse to get out. This book is worth the read.
