Almost 3 million copies sold. The classic that changed how we think about leadership—now fully updated. What if the problem isn't your team, your boss, or your organization? What if it's you—and you can't see it?

And those stories keep us stuck. Through a compelling narrative, this book exposes the hidden patterns of self-deception that sabotage even our best intentions—in the workplace, at home, and in every relationship that matters. More importantly, it shows you how to break free. For over two decades, this book has transformed how leaders, teams, and organizations work together. The fourth edition is completely rewritten with - fresh stories and a broader, more diverse cast of characters; - new individual study and group discussion guides; and - practical tools for applying these insights at the personal, team, and organization-wide level. The problem you can't see is the one you can't solve. This book will change what you see—and everything that follows.
