Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box (AGENCY/DISTRIBUTED)

Product Information

LOL, all the main characters in this book are men and are aggressive, patronizing, and downright cruel towards all the women in this book, and then the men learn how to be better people. If you’re a leader, you’ll create an atmosphere of responsibility where people focus more on getting work done instead of blaming others.

But because your worldview is distorted, the quality of the relationship will not improve through this change in behavior.My self-justifying image about being learned can be the very thing that sometimes keeps me from learning. Over time, certain behaviors and justifications can become habitual for you and you apply them (carry your box with you) in many situations. Trying to cope with or put up with others: When you do this, you’re continuing to blame others—you’re still in your box and causing them to stay in theirs.

Leadership and Self-Deception explains how self-deception derails personal relationships and keeps organizations and leaders from achieving the results they want. Treat people with respect, talk to them like humans, don't be a judge-y asshole that externalizes your problems and develop some emotional awareness, bruh.

When you’re self-deceived, you view your needs and desires as primary and everyone else’s needs and desires as secondary. The latter part of the book, which guides us into Getting out of the Box and exercising leadership in the liberated box-free world, we share in our hero's confusion in how the usual remedies fail here. To justify this act of self-betrayal he starts to think how he worked hard the whole day, how he deserves more support from his wife, focusing on his ego. If you are willing to indulge yourself in its principles and proper application, you will enjoy this book tremendously for the foundational groundwork it lays.

The things that divide fathers from sons, husbands from wives, and neighbors from neighbors are the same things that divide coworkers from coworkers.

In this example, you would probably start feeling angry at your spouse, blaming him or her for not getting up.
