      Synopsis

      When Tom Callum, a troubled executive struggling with his new job, is asked to spend two days meeting with the executive vice president at the Zagrum Company, he unexpectedly learns about self-deception. Self-deception results when someone acts contrary to what they know is right. By ignoring that altruistic, internal voice, one triggers a chain of events that ultimately result in destructive behavior.

      The "disease" of self-deception underlies all leadership problems in today's organizations. However well intentioned they may be, leaders who deceive themselves always end up undermining their own performance. This straightforward audio uses Tom Callum's story to demonstrate that while knowing how to avoid this problem is central to business relationships and success, awareness is equally important in one's personal relationships.

      After reading this book, I bought several copies for other peopleby Bickham

      September 28, 2009: Through a story, the book leads you to take an objective look in the mirror and determine if you are guilty of self-deception.

      Most of us engage in some level of self-deception; this book helps you penetrate it and dismantle it, as painful as that may be for some of us.

      I gave this book to several people including co-workers, boss, and family. Several people (including me) were moved to tears by the depth of the insights we got about our selves and our lives.

      It's a life changing book, what you get out of it can be applied to work and other life relationships.

      August 01, 2009: Applicable to every kind of relationship, but absolutely critical reading for every business, whether just starting out, or far along the continuum of its life cycle. Will be life changing for every reader who approaches the concepts put forth in this book with an open mind,an intensive search of the heart, and an honest look in the mirror.
