Max H. Bazerman on How to Overcome Complicity and Create a More Ethical World EP 215
Today I talk to Dr. Max H. Bazerman, the Jesse Isidor Straus Professor of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School. Max and I discuss his new book, "Complicit," and explore the root causes of complicity, how it's enabled and how to stop it.
What We Discuss with Max H. Bazerman
While It is easy to blame obvious offenders, we rarely consider the many people supporting their unethical or criminal behaviors. There was a corroborating cast of people who were complicit: business partners, investors, news organizations, employees, and others. And, whether we’re aware of it or not, most of us have been complicit in the unscrupulous behavior of others. We explore complicity through the stories of McKinsey, Arthur Andersen, Theranos, ExxonMobile, and BP and learn valuable lessons on not only what creates complicity but our role in allowing it to happen.

What We Discuss with Juliet Funt
Juliet explains why reinserting “white space” is vital in our days. This is the time when we can breathe, contemplate, prepare, and create. The name came from looking at the literal white spaces on a lightly scheduled paper calendar and discovering that those open blocks reveal how many opportunities that day could hold. To access it, you take a strategic pause. Stop what you are doing, and white space will rush in.
