Sit down for a timely conversation between host Brandon Laws and guest Mitch Warner, co-author of Leadership and Self-Deception. Warner reveals how self-deception is often the hidden root of workplace challenges, and leaders who help their teams shift from blame to accountability unleash creativity and collaboration. Sharing insights from the fourth edition of his book, Warner emphasizes that true transformation isn’t about implementing more tactics but about changing the way people see one another and themselves.
TAKEAWAYS
Most team challenges come from people dynamics, not technical problems, and resolving these is crucial for progress.
Team members often struggle to recognize their role in problems, which keeps conflicts unresolved.
Lasting transformation happens when people change how they view themselves and others.
Understanding others’ perspectives strengthens relationships and promotes growth within teams.
The need to be “right” often leads people to ignore their own contributions to problems, which can hurt relationships and team goals.
Recognizing how each of our actions impacts colleagues leads to better work quality and a more connected, supportive workplace.
