Leadership and Self Deception

Organizational problems such as lack of leadership, motivation, teamwork, communication, accountability and stress are not always separate problems, but symptoms of a deeper problem. This learning experience allows participants to discover important principles for themselves. Through this enlightening workshop, participants will:

  • Come to understand that the deeper problem is self-deception
  • Define the concept of self-deception
  • Realize some of the devastating effects of self-deception
  • Discover why, despite its destructiveness, self-deception is so hard for people to see
  • Learn how they themselves suffer from self-deception
  • Discover how they contribute to many of the problems they complain about in their organizations

She then works together with those individuals and organizations to develop a plan which transforms that knowledge into action.
