Our Humble Beginnings
In 1979, ARBINGER began to translate this important work on self-deception - and
its solution - into practical effect for individuals, families and organizations
worldwide. Our approach has comeas the result of decades of exploration, by an international
team of scholars led by Dr. C. Terry Warner, into the problem of self-deception.
Arbinger's focus on organizations began when a well-known management consultant
asked for Arbinger's help with one of his clients. As a result of Arbinger's work,
that company, which had been languishing in its performance, became the industry's
profit leader, eventually doubling and tripling the ROI of its nearest competitors.
After that experience, Arbinger's reputation spread. They began to focus on the
organizational implications and applications of the self-deception problem and solution.
One of Arbinger's greatest achievements is their first book, Leadership and Self-Deception,
published in 2000. It quickly became an international best seller. Launched, without
fanfare, when ARBINGER and its work were little known, the book generated extraordinary
word-of-mouth momentum. Sales are growing even today. The book is now available
in more than twenty-one languages. Since Leadership and Self-Deception was published,
many readers have clamored for a book that explores our work more deeply - and applies
the concepts to issues outside the workplace as well as within.
In (2001),'Bonds That Make Us Free: Healing Our Relationships, Coming to Ourselves'
marked entrance towards Terry Warner's own treatment of his work around the problem
of Self-Deception. The book is intended for a general audience.
Out of the desire to help resolve conflicts - large and small - that burden families,
workplaces and communities 'The Anatomy of Peace' (in 2006) also became a ground-breaking
book revealing more with each re-examination on Arbinger's profound and deep, sweeping
implications for organizations and individuals.
