Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:

This third edition of an international bestseller--over 2 million copies sold worldwide and translated into 33 languages--details how its powerful insights on motivation, conflict, and collaboration can benefit organizations as well as individuals.

Since its original publication in 2000, Leadership and Self-Deception has become an international word-of-mouth phenomenon. Rather than tapering off, it sells more copies every year. The book's central insight--that the key to leadership lies not in what we do but in who we are--has proven to have powerful implications not only for organizational leadership but in readers' personal lives as well.

Leadership and Self-Deception uses an entertaining story everyone can relate to about a man facing challenges at work and at home to expose the fascinating ways that we blind ourselves to our true motivations and unwittingly sabotage the effectiveness of our own efforts to achieve happiness and increase happiness. We trap ourselves in a "box" of endless self-justification. Most importantly, the book shows us the way out. Readers will discover what millions already have learned--how to consistently tap into and act on their innate sense of what's right, dramatically improving all of their relationships.

Reviews:

I've known the work of the Arbinger Institute for years. Arbinger's ideas are profound, with deep and sweeping implications for organizations. Leadership and Self-Deception provides the perfect introduction to this material. It is engaging and fresh, easy to read, and packed with insight. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

� Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Very informative for a new Manager May 21, 2008
Reviewer: Ray from Arizona United States
I recently became a manager for a program and I needed a book which would jump start me in my new position. I am glad I found this book at this time. It captures your attention at the begining and you see yourself in the book. I recommend this to any new manager or superviors who are just beginning.

Enlightening and Illuminating January 2, 2009
Reviewer: Richmond Doxey from Provo, UT USA
I recently read Leadership and Self-Deception. Though I am not working in a big business right now, I have seen and found applications outside the workplace. It shows clearly a fundamental problem in interpersonal relationships and how to avoid it. The way in which the material is presented makes it easy to read and assimilate, while at the same time presenting a wealth of ideas that leaves one pondering and evaluating. I recommend this not only to business leaders, but to anyone who wants to improve their interpersonal relationships and become a more successful leader, neighbor, associate and friend.
