Leadership and Self-Deception by Arbinger Institute

With almost 3 million copies sold worldwide, this new edition of a leadership classic brings a refreshing perspective on healing our professional and personal relationships.

Updated throughout with 25% new material including an additional female protagonist, updated stories, and new content.


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.

With over 25% new material, the fourth edition is the biggest revamp yet and features-
A second younger, female protagonist relevant for a broader and more diverse audienceUpdated stories and perspectives with the removal of outdated examplesIndividual and group study guides with guided discussion questionsAnd practical advice for applying these lessons on a personal, team, and organization-wide level
Learn how this time-tested story has helped millions of people and thousands of organizations achieve less objectifying and more compassionate results.

The Arbinger Institute, founded in 1979, has assisted thousands of individuals, teams, and organizations in achieving breakthrough outcomes by making the one change that most radically improves performance, stimulates cooperation, and accelerates innovation: a move from an inward mindset's default self-focus to an outward mindset's all-inclusive results-focus.
