What all of us can do to fight the pervasive human tendency to
enable wrongdoing in the workplace, politics, and beyond It is easy
to condemn obvious wrongdoers such as Elizabeth Holmes, Adam
Neumann, Harvey Weinstein, and the Sackler family. But we rarely
think about the many people who supported their unethical or
criminal behavior. In each case there was a supporting cast of
complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news
organizations, and others. And, whether we're aware of it or not,
almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of
others. In Complicit, Harvard Business School professor Max
Bazerman confronts our complicity head-on and offers strategies for
recognizing and avoiding the psychological and other traps that
lead us to ignore, condone, or actively support wrongdoing in our
businesses, organizations, communities, politics, and more.
Complicit tells compelling stories of those who enabled the
Theranos and WeWork scandals, the opioid crisis, the sexual abuse
that led to the #MeToo movement, and the January 6th U.S. Capitol
attack. The book describes seven different behavioral profiles that
can lead to complicity in wrongdoing, ranging from true partners to
those who unknowingly benefit from systemic privilege, including
white privilege, and it tells the story of Bazerman's own brushes
with complicity. Complicit also offers concrete and detailed
solutions, describing how individuals, leaders, and organizations
can more effectively prevent complicity. By challenging the notion
that a few bad apples are responsible for society's ills, Complicit
implicates us all-and offers a path to creating a more ethical
world.
