Are You Living Your Life in a Box?


A few weeks ago I was in London heading for Euston station when I saw someone huddled in a doorway with a collection of boxes for a shelter.  People scurried by desperately hoping not to make eye contact and it struck me that the homeless man was not the only one in a box.  Each of the passers-by was in a box also, a mental one.  A box which separated them, their values, prejudices and beliefs for everyone else and I was reminded of a book, "Leadership and self deception: Getting out of the box", which was recommended to me by a client.  It's a simple yet profound book and despite it's title is relevant to all aspect and walks of life.  If you find yourself in conflict with someone or communication and effective relationships are important to you then this is a must-read.

I wonder, will you dare to step out of your box?
