Hello!
Leadership and Self Deception is one of only a couple of mandatory books I use in The Primal Leadership Business Coaching Way. Most issues with leaders stem from denial. If you’re thinking, ‘that’s not true’, notice the irony. Denial to see reality as it really is and not how I want it or how I learned it ‘should be’ is a common blindspot among all of us. And if we want to motivate, influence, and inspire others, we have to stop this habit and start seeing things as they really are – not how we want them to be or thought they were.
This is an ongoing discipline that the book, Leadership and Self Deception, does a grand job uncovering. When you read this book, you can see how you unconsciously put people in ‘boxes’ all day long. That person is annoying. That person doesn’t listen. That person doesn’t like me. And so on and so forth. You get the gist.
When you are able to take them out of the box and get a heart at peace, some major leadership roadblocks you were experiencing will vanish. Don’t take my word for it – check out this easy-to-read book. You’ll not only begin the process of obtaining a heart at peace – you’ll also begin to motivate, inspire, and influence those you want to follow you.
As my clients have implemented this, I get to observe how they become very aware of the fact that they’ve decided the outcome of a conversation or meeting long before there was even a chance of seeing each other as humans and working together for the common vision.
