Leadership and Self-Deception in Political Leadership

On Day 1, participants will experience Arbinger's renowned program, The Choice Seminar, which explores Arbinger's foundational material - including the problem of self-deception and its solution. (The Choice is the Phase 1 training program Arbinger uses in all of its work with individuals and organizations in a broad range of areas - whether in families, or related to our work with corporations, schools, treatment programs, governmental agencies, humanitarian concerns, law enforcement and corrections agencies, helping professionals, and so on).

Day 2, applies Arbinger's work to both the project of politics and the challenge of governance. It helps participants discover the boxes they carry, and how these boxes affect their work with political allies, political opponents and constituents.

Participants also learn:

• How to break free from these boxes.
• How to pursue political objectives in ways that make achieving them more likely than rejection and defeat.
• How to overcome conflicts that hinder efforts with both political allies and opponents.

The Choice in Political Leadership covers:

Box Warning Signs

• The Box carries characteristic signs -- when identified, they can alert us that we might be in the box.
• Participants explore these signs in depth to gain greater self-understanding.

Political Traps and Incentives Toward the Box

• The political process and arena has certain built-in "traps" - features of the political landscape that invite people toward the box. Participants learn about these traps and how to avoid them.

Political Boxes, and how to Escape them

• Justification boxes come in four main categories, each with their own devastating impact.
• Participants discover which boxes they are most likely to carry. They discover how these boxes have made them less productive and successful than they could have been. They also learn how to escape the destructive influence of these boxes.

Out-of-the-Box Political Leadership

• Participants learn a structure of leadership and problem-solving - the Arbinger Leadership Pyramid™ - that will guide all of their strategic decisions, while keeping them out of the box.

Working Across the Aisle and Resolving Political Conflicts

• Participants learn a model for resolving conflicts
• Participants then apply that model to resolve an issue that is currently holding them back.
