Through an entertaining and compelling story dubbed Who Moved My Cheese meets 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by one manuscript reviewer--Leadership and Self-Deception presents a revolutionary new understanding of the nature of successful leadership.

The authors show that the key to successful leadership lies deeper than a particular technique, behavior or skill. This is why so many leadership development initiatives end up failing, and why so many leaders, no matter how hard they try, are ultimately unsuccessful. The key to successful leadership lies not in what we do, but in who we areour way of being.

Leadership and Self Deception shows how self-betrayal going against one's innate sense of what he or she should be doing for others leads to self-deception, the central player in all leadership breakdowns, relationship issues, and performance problems in organizations.

The book follows the progress of a new executive at the fictional Zagrum Corporation as he sheds his old ways of acting and learns a new, better way to lead. Leadership and Self-Deception uses vivid examples to show what self-deception is, how it operates, and, most importantly, how it can be overcome. While other books cover useful people skills, techniques, and systems of leadership, this one goes deeper, fully illuminating the source of what makes truly effective leadership.

This is a great story that illustrates how often we don't understand and pursue the cause..instead we often are fixated with addressing the symptoms!
