Jeff Pfeffer on Why People Lie to Themselves and Others

This is one of those 50Lessons videos, where they ask an expert to make a series of short comment on several aspects of management.  They are now running these on The Times of London's website, including one on The No Asshole Rule that was filmed before the book was written   They just put one up today with, Jeff Pfeffer, my friend and co-author. As usual, Jeff is proactive and evidence-based -- and absolutely fearless about about naming the names of people and companies. Jeff, for example, lumps together Enron and GE in making his arguments in a manner that I find funny, disturbing, and as always, annoyingly logical.  Check out: Professor Pfeffer: Why We Would Rather Lie Than Be Associated With Failure.

So true. Jeff Pfeffer is fantastic. I have got all his books from the "The external control of organizations" on.
