Leadership & Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box

This has been my favorite. Now, that is only out of four books, but I liked it a lot.

I didn't have a favorite Character.

He gives a particular voice and personality to the characters that I wouldn't have given them while reading the book.

There were parts that tugged at my heart strings.

I would recommend this book for people who have negative attitudes about coworkers. I might even require it if I had that kind of power.

Points about self retreat and self deception are very powerful

All of them are good

what does it means to be in the box and how to get out

I like to think that the book is about which perspective are you taking: Ego or Soul.
If it's from closed, self defensive, justifying, blaming, me against all, dog eat dog, then you are in the box or you are all your Ego.

Quit killing relationships

Helped me see how lucky I am up to this point in my life to have any relationships at all!

Yes.

There are no new skills taught here, just an eye opening experience of seeing people for their Human qualities and not their performance of associated rolls in life. Very, very good for not just leaders of organizations but anyone who interacts with others...ever!

The golden rule.

Absolutely, he was an excellent reader.

Yes, it was very entertaining at times and thought provoking at others.

Began this thinking it was a simple-minded exercise in the obvious. If you can prevail upon yourself to acknowledge that most relationship problems stem fundamentally from our natural disinclination to recognize the truth about ourselves, you will find the material accessible and illuminating. May save my marriage.

A new way of presenting an old truth - the family, the business, the world - are more livable, productive and fun IF people focus on the "other" rather than on themselves. This easily understood, but difficult to achieve, truism is restated every generation and rightly so, we need reminding on a regular basis.

I wasn't impressed. The story format was intriguing and I was looking forward to some valuable insights delivered with authenticity, What I heard was forced inanity. I found little that was sincere or realistic and I felt ripped off, so I quit listening after the 2nd or 3rd chapter/story.

I'd like to read Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed, but it doesn't seem to be available on audio.

Sounded like a Used Car Salesman at times. Felt it was 'acted' rather than delivered with feeling.

It gave example of being in the box and out of the box.

It really wasn't a story

He was a great narrator

I would use it to work throught issues at work and at home.
