The Illusion of Objectivity: What Leaders Must Learn to See

  We like to believe we can be objective—especially about ourselves. Under the right conditions, with enough discipline, enough experience, enough intention… surely we can see ourselves clearly.

The Quiet, Indispensible Discipline That Sustains Us
