Product Information

It demonstrates the negative impact this self-deception has on our lives, but also shows a way out of this state, benefiting both our private and professional lives. This would have been much better had it been presented as a factual pamphlet, not a fictional account of some sappy Utopian business empire. What’s worse, it spreads like a virus and results in nothing but ineffective work and negative feelings. Through the letters, they apologized, and started getting to know each other as people and healing their relationship. This means that the real goal – generating good ideas for your employer company – will not be your main concern anymore.

Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute is a management book that emphasizes the importance of recognizing personal biases and treating others with empathy to build stronger relationships and improve leadership effectiveness. It doesn't matter what management technique you use—managing by walking around, practicing active listening, or showing interest by asking personal questions. The process included a one-on-one meeting with each new employee introducing the concepts and an accountability system that focused on results and minimized “people” problems.

It went so quick and easy that I am actually planning to listen to it at least one more time really soon. He saw himself as more important and everyone else and their needs as secondary (he was deluded or self-deceived). From what I have heard, when this book is required reading at a workplace, the people who most desperately need to address their own self-deception love this book but think it applies to everyone else except for them.

This short but compelling book tells the true and inspiring story of a woman who was abandoned by her family and raised in an orphanage. Remember, self-deception is not defined by what we do, but by what the underlying emotions are, so simply changing behavior will not solve the problem.We must justify our self-betrayal, which leads us to self-deception and having negative feelings towards others. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning French and pre-Calc among the progeny of Leadership Gurus. Great leaders treat people as equals and with underlying respect, thereby gaining willing and loyal followers. We can be hard and invite productivity and commitment, or we can be hard and invite resistance and ill will.

The premise of this book focuses on one's own limited view of people, relationships, and organizational dynamics and clearly shows them as obstacles to one's optimal performance and productivity.Your stubbornness and inability to see your own faults will eventually lead to your partner blaming you in disagreements, leading him or her to be blinded to their own faults as well. This book should be renamed "straight men learn how to be empathetic and not assholes to women, especially in the workplace".
