ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Leadership and Self-Deception by The Arbinger Institute tells the story of a new senior manager, Tom Callum, as he learns about a fundamental problem affecting human behavior and organizational performance: self-deception, or "being in the box". Through a series of enlightening conversations, Tom discovers how this unconscious blindness to one's own motivations and impact on others undermines leadership, teamwork, and personal relationships. The narrative explores how being "in the box" distorts our perception of reality, leading to various interpersonal and organizational challenges. The book hints at a transformative approach to recognizing and overcoming self-deception to achieve better outcomes in all aspects of life.
