Leadership and Self-Deception: Getting out of the Box by the Arbinger Institute
When a leader lives in self-deception his view of reality is distorted. People are treated as a means to an end, as objects instead of people. This book calls this condition being "in the box." Over time this type of thinking provokes others to think the same way creating mutual mistreatment. This collusion keeps everyone in the company, office or ministry "in the box." This "in the box" thinking creates all kinds of problems lack of motivation, poor teamwork, communication problems and lack of productivity to name a few. The book of course explains how to get free of this type of destructive thinking "getting out of the box."
