Lessons : The honest truth about dishonesty.

On my recent travel I read this book. Very relevant and lots of research gone into it.

 

You can click on the book to goto Amazon.

Dishonesty, that we hardly think about in our daily lives is sometimes very subtle. I look back and find that in my life as well there are cases where it can be seen. For instance taking more than an hour for lunch, or sometimes taking a long tea break. Also the research done in the book gives insights on how we can ensure practices that can reduce dishonesty in our work place.

A worth read.
