Product Details

This technical note explores the "self-focus" and "mission-focus" mindsets based on two of the Arbinger Institute's books, The Outward Mindset and Leadership and Self-Deception. Future business leaders are invited to consider how they think about themselves and others and, in turn, how their mindset affects their ability to effectively inspire, lead, manage, and solve problems in their professional and personal lives. Through examples and recommendations, readers learn tools to practice greater self-awareness with the aim of increasing harmony, productivity, and understanding in the workplace and at home.
