My advice

If you haven’t read this book you should. If it’s more than six months since you read it, then it’s time to read it again.

I have already listened to the audiobook of twice so far this year. I found the content of this book extremely humbling each time and whereas the first exposure to the material was a challenge, the second time it was challenging of me.

Unable to source a paperback copy quickly I purchased the audio version from iTunes. The ideas of self-deception, self-betrayal and how they affect our daily lives unfold as a conversation between Tom and his employers so the acting of the audio added immensely to the feeling of the book and set a nice pace.

Leadership and Self-Deception adds a level of understanding to workplace interactions which is deep yet clear and sensible.
