Leadership and Self-Deception reveals that there are only two ways that leaders function. They are either the source of leadership problems or the source of leadership success. The authors use an entertaining and compelling story to examine this premise, identifying self-deception as the underlying cause of leadership failure, and showing how any leader can overcome self-deception to become a consistent catalyst of success.

The authors assert that the key to leadership lies deeper than any particular technique, behavior, or skill. It lies in how a person is and his or her way of being. The authors advocate a state of being that is honest, straightforward, and genuine. This book demonstrates how individuals enter a state as leaders and how it is possible to change. Understanding and applying this principle is the key to leadership transformation and the key to becoming a consistent catalyst for success.
