Leadership and Self-Deception
The Arbinger Institute
About this book
Through a business fable, this book reveals the single biggest problem leaders face — being 'in the box', treating others as objects rather than people. The shift out of the box transforms leadership from the inside out.
Key themes
- Self-betrayal: the moment we ignore what we know we should do
- How the box distorts our perception of others to justify our behavior
- The Arbinger hierarchy: being → doing → results
- Why better skills and processes cannot fix a problem of being
- Collusion: how two people in their boxes sustain each other's suffering
