Leadership and Self- Deception, Fourth Edition

Through a relatable story about a man facing challenges on the job and in his family, Leadership and Self-Deception exposes the fascinating ways we can blind ourselves to our true motivations and unwittingly sabotage the effectiveness of our own efforts at success and happiness. It then illuminates the counterintuitive ways you can dramatically improve both your results and your relationships.
