Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box *EPUB
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. Read more

Why Must Read Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box?
Hi, my name is Sammy and I’m 14. I read Leadership and Self-Deception and I hope that you will too. I was reading Leadership and Self-Deception (LaSD) for a class on -- you guessed it, leadership. It’s in a story format, and while the story is not Epic Fantasy, it is written well enough and with the right amount of examples to keep it engaging. What is LaSD about? A man named Tom. He is going to a meeting with the co-leader of a company. In this meeting, he is told that he has a problem. That everyone has this problem. The problem is called being “In the box”. What does it mean to be in the box? The short answer is that when you are in the box, your view is obstructed so that you can not see what the real problem is, or that you have a problem. The long answer is in the book. You should read it. Being in the box is something that happens all the time. In fact, the night after I finished LSaD I realized that I was in the box toward someone, and using what I had learned was able to get out. Unfortunately, there are times that I don’t realize that I am in the box and don’t get out until later. Sorry Mom. If everyone were perfect then no one would need to read this book. Unfortunately, no one is perfect and so everyone should read this book, and if everyone read this book, the world would be a better place. Then again, you may read this book and disagree. If so, I still think you could get something out of it. I disagreed with the book about getting out of the box, but I still had a great discussion with my group and we came up with some great ideas (if I do say so myself). I hope that you will spend some of your life reading this book. The rest of your life will be better for it. (; -- Sammy If you have any thoughts on my review or LaSD, please comment!
