Arbinger Helps Business Leaders Improve Results and Transform Culture with Research-Backed Best Practices and Practical Tools
NEW YORK, July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Arbinger Institute, the premier provider of leadership and professional development solutions that transform business culture, is preparing to release the fourth edition of its blockbuster book LEADERSHIP AND SELF-DECEPTION: The Secret to Transforming Relationships and Unleashing Results, which is now available for pre-order. Published by Berrett-Koehler and launching worldwide on August 27, the book aims to empower business leaders to identify and reverse the impact of self-deception in relationships for improved business results.
Translated into over 30 languages, Leadership and Self-Deception has sold over 3 million copies, making it one of the top 50 leadership books of all time. This best-selling book facilitates a transformational, insight-rich experience for readers by introducing Arbinger principles in an authentic, inclusive, and accessible narrative structure. It also offers a glimpse into how an outward mindset can help transform organizations.
The new edition of Leadership and Self-Deception features:
- New stories that apply timeless concepts to today's workplace.
- An expanded cast of characters reflecting diverse audiences.
- Examples of how we can blind ourselves to our true motivations and efforts to achieve success, and how to choose a different course.
- Practical ways to apply its tools on personal, team, and organizational levels.
- An individual study and group discussion guide.
"As much as readers love this leadership classic, a lot has changed in the world since its original publication in 2000," remarked Mitch Warner, managing partner at The Arbinger Institute. "While each successive edition has added additional resources for readers, we came to believe that a fundamental rewrite was required to make this classic relevant and resonant to readers today," he added. "This edition highlights a more expansive array of experiences, representation, and relatability that truly showcase the challenges people face at home and in the workplace."
Building upon the foundational concepts of previous editions, the fourth edition of Leadership and Self-Deception addresses workplace issues such as culture, efficiency, effective leadership, and all people-related dysfunction that plague relationships, hindering organizational results.
Told through an engaging story, the book reveals how leaders blind themselves to their true motivations and unwittingly sabotage efforts to achieve success and rebuild broken relationships. The latest version introduces main characters that represent more modern gender roles and a broader array of racial/ethnic diversity. It incorporates personal and family dynamics in the key characters' lives to make it even more relatable. These changes equip leaders and employees alike to make humanity in the workplace their greatest asset rather than their greatest obstacle.
"We have seen that once leaders can see themselves clearly, they can better navigate complex human interactions and create positive change. These ideas and best practices have inspired millions to transform how they approach teams and businesses to deliver results at work, at home, and across their communities," added Warner.
The book is available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major platforms. The Arbinger Institute is also introducing its new Arbinger Book Club to encourage readers to explore additional titles, including The Anatomy of Peace and The Outward Mindset.
