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, 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.

I expected more “tips and tricks” from the book but they were mainly general knowledge: speak up, stand your ground, back up so you don’t have much to lose when you speak up, etc. Though those aren’t always applicable, eg in the Theranos case the whistleblowers not only could lose their job, reputation, not to be able to be hired around but also there were the mental and emotional threats and bullying, fear for one’s life. So speaking up when you see wrongdoing is not always so easy and definitely the people, who do it, deserve all the respect. On the other hand, the book helps us see how we are all complicit even by not doing anything. The book also reviews why some people support the wrongdoers: benefiting for themselves, believing in a false prophet, due to authority and loyalty you feel obliged to obey, trusting the relationship you have with the person, creating and accepting unethical organizational systems.
