Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box
I read the book with a group of leaders from various ministries and was challenged by the principles of the book. After reading and being challenged, I decided to purchase a copy for each of our Church Board Director's. Immediately, each of them contacted me and had nothing but great things to say about the book. Each of them were challenged in different areas of their lives from home, relationships and within the business sector. The book is an easy read.

The good: The message that each individual should take more responsibilty in his relationships. Instead of dismissing those who don't see the world (or the job) from your own perspective, make a better effort to see it (& yourself) from theirs.
The bad: (2 issues)
1) If you are looking for a business book, this really isn't it. It's about relationships. If you are looking for steps to be a better business leader you may find this book unsatisfying.
2) In the end, the book is just an appetizer for the services of the Arbinger Institute, & leaves you feeling like something was left out. I felt like I paid for a commercial.

Do not be fooled by the title, this book is meant for everyone..My Manager recommended me this one and after reading the first few chapters I just could not wait to finish this...It talks on how to treat people as people and not objects...It will make you realize that your actions are actually contradicting the results that you are looking for....
MUST READ...

If you don't have this book and are living on a deserted island, then your okay. If you see or work with any people at all. This book is a MUST HAVE. There is allot of repetition, but its to grill the main Idea of the book into your head. Basically it boils down to the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!
But this book give you ideas and examples of how to do just that and keep yourself in check. If your a company owner. I would make this a mandatory read (especially for anyone in management!)
Just GET IT!
