Leadership And Self-Deception: Getting Out Of The Box Is An Unique Work On Leadership Skills

It’s been said that leaders are born, not made. This is true, but only to a certain level. The truth is, there are many people who become leaders due to their desire to acquire the skills needed to be a great leader. The Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box by the Arbinger Institute is an immensely useful book that is packed with insights on the traits that can make one an excellent leader.

The main theme of this book is that being an excellent leader is not always rooted in what we do, but who we are. You can expand your leadership capabilities when you understand yourself. The book is special in that it truly tackles this concept in order to help readers attain their leadership potential.

A common criticism about self-help books is that they have a tendency to be a bit overly expository. They usually turn out to be too preachy and basically read like the reader is being given a lecture. It’s not the case with Leadership and Self-Deception. Rather, it uses an unique approach to communicate its message to its readers. In the book is the account of an executive whose work life and home life are full of challenges and difficulties. The story presents readers a glimpse of the inner workings of an executive’s mind and insight into what’s required to enable someone to conquer challenges and develop effective leadership skills.

In the book’s narrative framework, readers see right inside what makes many people great leaders. The book achieves this by looking at what motivates individuals to want to become excellent leaders. Motivation is crucial and should never be ignored. In fact, it plays a major role whether or not you succeed in realizing your leadership goals. Basically, flawed motivation is never going to fuel the attainment of effective leadership skills, but individuals with the proper motivation will find that their path to achieving leadership potential increases significantly.

Self-deception is also brought up in the book title. Where does the notion of deception come up? This, in essence, refers to the fact that when you’re dishonest with your self, you’re undermining your potential for leadership success. Additionally, you must be grounded in reality to sharpen and improve your leadership skills. This means you should be 100 % honest about where both your abilities and your faults lie. Through reading the advice within this book, you are going to learn the basics of what is required to avoid deceiving yourself about your weak points.

As the title, Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting Out of the Box, suggests, it’s a work which also promotes the notion that you must open your perspectives and think outside of the proverbial box. If you do this, you are not as likely restricting yourself. Your potential to be a very good leader improves substantially when you cease limiting yourself. And is that not the objective you would be searching for when reading a book of this nature?
