Terry Warner
C. Terry Warner is an American academic, author and business consultant. He co-wrote the business
leadership book Leadership and Self-Deception and founded the Arbinger Institute, which does consulting and
training based on his academic work on the foundations of human behavior and self-deception. In writings and
seminars, Warner argues that people are responsible for their own actions and even negative emotions which
are often used to accuse others rather than responding to their needs, and that people therefore have the power
to free their relationships with others from negativity.

Warner holds a Ph.D. from Yale University and is a professor emeritus of philosophy at Brigham Young
University.[1] In 1967 he joined the faculty at Brigham Young University, where he served as chair of the
Philosophy Department, director of the Honors Program, and dean of the College of General Studies.[2]
Among Warner's students was Steven Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.[3] He was a
visiting senior member of Linacre College, Oxford University.
