I first had the pleasure of meeting Ron Carucci in 2016, when we were introduced by a mutual friend and sat down for a chat that would ultimately become the basis for his Forbes article “Six Dangerous Excuses to Compromise That Could Land You in Prison.” Since then, Ron has been a personal and professional colleague and source of inspiration for my own work.
So, in 2019, when he published an article in the Harvard Business Review titled “4 Ways Lying Becomes the Norm at a Company,” I dove right in. It represented a 15-year longitudinal study, where Ron and his team “analyzed 3,200 interviews that were conducted as part of 210 organizational assessments to see whether there were factors that predicted whether or not people inside a company will be honest.”
