Finished "Leadership and Self-Deception

I finished reading Leadership and Self-Deception. - excellent
(The Arbinger Institute)
- Self-betrayal leads to self-deception and "the box."
- When in the box, you can't focus on results.
- Your influences and success will depend on being out of the box.
- You get out of the box as you cease resisting other people.
- Don't try to be perfect. Try to be better.
- Don't use the vocabulary of the box, use the principles.
- Don't look for other's boxes. Look for your own.
- Don't accuse others, you stay out of the box.
- Don't give up on yourself when you find yourself in the box. Keep trying.
- Don't deny you've been in the box, do apologize, go forward, be more helpful.
- Don't focus on what others are doing wrong. Do focus on what you can do right.
- Don't worry whether others are helping you. Worry whether you are helping others.
