WHEN YOUR JOB WANTS YOU TO LIE: A book club meeting

[David Reed]

WHEN YOUR JOB WANTS YOU TO LIE: A book club meeting to discuss "Lying to Ourselves: Dishonesty in the Army Profession" by Leonard Wong & Stephen Gerras, U.S Army War College.

We all face pressure to fudge in our jobs: You have to sign that you have read and understand a long document that nobody has time to read, or you have to report figures for something that nobody has tracked so the best you can do is guess-timate. We will start with Wong and Gerras's book, and move on to talk about the same problem in other organizations, how we can cope with pressure to misrepresent in our jobs, and broader solutions.

Wednesday, July 19 at the Partnership for Public Service, Washington DC.

Space is limited, so you must RSVP in advance at
