Over two decades since first being published, Leadership and Self-Deception continues to inspire readers with its central insight-that the key to leadership lies not in what we do but in who we are. This engaging story reveals how as leaders we all too often blame others to justify our own self-worth. We fall into this trap of self-deception and self-betrayal which makes us see others as barriers to our own success. The vicious cycle of in-the-box thinking then spreads to those in both our professional and personal lives. So how do we get out? The answer lies in thinking outside the box and not resisting the humanity in the people around us.
