Leadership and Self Deception

According to Arbinger the problems that typically prevent superior performance in organizations are the result of a little-known deeper problem called “self-deception”. Problems in communication, accountability, trust, leadership, productivity, motivation—and so on—can all be traced to this single root cause. So: What is self-deception? How does it undermine performance? Can it be “treated”? If so, how? And most importantly: What can life be like without it—both at work and elsewhere? For leaders in particular, these questions stake out the new frontier in understanding and improving performance—and quality of life—in organizations.
