They have been told to read this book. If this manager stays true to form, they will manipulate the material of the book to show how they are the organization's savior among incompetants. I have my doubts they are capable of recognizing themself as an "elephant." Aside from "revealing character" and creating a bubble of positive self-talk, how is it possible to deflect arguments from your book that "fear managers" are manipulating to their own ends? Quite a conundrum, huh? I have a manager who is a “fear manager”. They have been told to read this book.
