Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)

Short review: This is one of the most fascinating books I have read in a while. A popularly focused leadership/psychology book that has some real practical suggestions as well as a lot of negative examples. I wrote one of the longest reviews I have ever written on my blog because I was captured by the idea that not only do we often self-justify our actions in spite of the fact that it usually makes us look worse in the long term, but we really can make changes to our behavior. Really recommend this book to anyone with any sort of leadership position. Learning how to really look at a situation and not just prejudge it and learning how to admit mistakes and learn from them are probably two of the most important leadership traits any leader can learn. Both are discussed extensively in this book.
