Most personal and organizational problems are the result of a little-known problem called "self-deception." We deceive ourselves into thinking we're doing the right thing for the right reason, but people won't follow a leader whose motives are selfish. The tricky thing is, we don't know that our motivation is flawed. Through an entertaining and highly instructive story, this shows what self-deception is, how people get trapped in it, how it undermines relationships and organizational achievement, and — most importantly — the surprising way to solve it.
