With almost 3 million copies sold worldwide, this new edition of an enduring classic is the definitive guide to dramatically improve leadership effectiveness, transform personal and professional relationships, and unleash organizational results.

Significantly revised throughout, this edition includes updated stories, brand new content, and a practical group discussion guide.

Over two decades since first being published, Leadership and Self-Deception continues to help audiences discover and overcome the persistent lies that are at the heart of the people-related dysfunction that plagues relationships and hinders organizational results. Told through an engaging story, this book reveals the ways we blind ourselves to our true motivations and unwittingly sabotage our efforts to achieve success and rebuild broken relationships. Completely rewritten throughout, this fourth edition features important updates:

● A broader cast of characters who resonate with a wide and diverse audience

● Updated stories and examples

● An individual study and group discussion guide to facilitate personal and team discoveries

● Practical guides to apply the tools on a personal, team, and organization-wide level
