We carry these self-justifying images with us into new situations... We don‘t see people straightforwardly, as people. Rather we see them in terms of the self-justifying images we‘ve created. If people act in ways that challenge the claim made by a self-justifying image, we see them as threats. If they reinforce the claim... we see them allies. If they fail to matter... we see them as unimportant. ... We‘re already in the box.
Honing my craft. Leadership development is something I hold dear. I love the outward mindset training programs. I‘m looking forward to going through this book.
I started a new job and within a week they asked everyone in the company to read this book. I finished it quickly and actually really enjoyed it. I'm not big on self-help books but this one got me thinking.. I wasn't enjoying the new job but I had to wonder if I was thinking in the box or out.. #selfhelp #motivation #outofthebox
Good balance between work and home in the content. Leaders are readers...
pickI DID NOT want to read this book. As an assignment for work, I did. About 25% through I found myself applying this book to my life. Looking at how I treat others and what I am really doing when I decide to not be helpful or decide that another should do something because I think they're lazy and they need to get busy. I am trying to remind myself of the lessons learned in this book. There is really no way to explain it well, read it, its worth it.
they give me books at my new job. 😍
