Description
The inability of leaders to take an objective look at their circumstances causes them to focus on the wrong issues, or take inappropriate or ineffective actions, which affects the well-being of the organizations they run. This book examines how and why we deceive ourselves, how to overcome that failing, and how doing so can make each of us more effective leaders, even if it is only to lead our own lives. The presentation is anecdotal and easy to follow. Even busy executives can absorb a chapter at a time over lunch. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
