And when will they lie, cheat and be selfish? Based on 15 years of research, To Be Honest explains how four factors (Clear Identity, Accountability, Governance and Cross-Functional Relationships) affect honesty, justice and purpose within a company. When these factors are absent or ineffective, the organizational conditions compel employees to choose dishonesty and self-interest. But when done well, the organization is 16 times more likely to have people tell the truth, behave fairly and serve a greater good. To Be Honest shares the stories of leaders who have acted with purpose, honesty and justice even when it was difficult to do so. In-depth interviews with CEOs and senior executives from exemplar companies such as Patagonia, Cabot Creamery, Microsoft and others reveal what it takes to build purpose-driven companies of honesty and justice. Interviews with thought leaders like Jonathan Haidt, Amy Edmondson, Dan Ariely and James Detert offer rich insights on how leaders can become more honest and purposeful. You'll learn how Hubert Joly took Best Buy from a company on the brink of bankruptcy to one that is profitable, thriving and purposeful. Filled with real-life examples, To Be Honest offers actionable steps, practical tools and approaches that any leader or manager can use to create a culture of purpose, honesty and justice.

Honestly is a valuable trait that helps humanity in so many ways in this world where morality is at its lowest ebb. It sharpens our perception, improves our vigor, and engenders confidence and trust. When you rid your life of dishonesty, you speak more confidently, command more respect, and have better relationships with people. The pleasures of dishonesty are brief; they are succinct; they are ephemera but honesty opens the door to acquire knowledge because of the instinct of sincerity etched into your personality. Dishonesty really doesn't help anyone, including your very self. When you tell lies to cover up, you hurt your mind and put yourself out of touch with reality. People may not easily know that you are projecting deceit but right within you, the truth is known because you can only lie to people but certainly not yourself. When this turns into a habit you lose your sense of personal esteem and become a dishonesty person. The guilt of deception will hang on you unless you decide to change and come out clean. If you wish to live with respect and dignity, you have to stop lying and live uprightly. Before honestly must set in, there are some certain things you will have to let go with a strong decision in your mind. Remember, attempting to make lasting changes to behavior is a complex process that requires determination and concerted effort. This book offers a sound and reliable roadmap to building trust and integrity. You will learn about what you can do to take proactive steps to stop lying and transform your life.

Honesty is an important virtue. Parents want to develop it in their children. Close relationships depend upon it. Employers value it in their employees. Surprisingly, however, philosophers have said very little about the virtue of honesty over the past fifty years. In this book, Christian B. Miller aims to draw much greater attention to this neglected virtue. The first part of the book looks at the concept of honesty. It takes up questions such as: What does honesty involve? What are the motives of an honest person? How does practical wisdom relate to honesty? Miller explores what connects the many sides of honesty, including not lying, not stealing, not breaking promises, not misleading others, and not cheating. He argues that the honest person reliably does not intentionally distort the facts as she takes them to be. Miller then examines the empirical psychology of honesty. He takes up the question of whether most people are honest, dishonest, or somewhere in between. Drawing extensively on recent studies of cheating and lying, the model Miller articulates ultimately implies that most of us have a long way to go to reach an honest character. Honesty: The Philosophy and Psychology of a Neglected Virtue provides both a richer understanding of what our character looks like, as well as what the goal of being an honest person actually involves. Miller then leaves it up to us to decide if we want to take steps to shrink the character gap between the two.
