Most people believe they’re ethical—but the truth is, we all have blind spots. In Blind Spots: Why We Fail to Do What’s Right and What to Do About It, behavioral ethicists Max H. Bazerman and Ann E. Tenbrunsel reveal how good people unintentionally make bad choices, and why we often fail to see our own ethical lapses until it’s too late.
Through stories ranging from Enron to the Challenger disaster, they expose how our “should self” (who we aspire to be) clashes with our “want self” (who actually makes the decision). This episode explores how biases, pressure, and organizational culture distort our judgment—and what practical steps individuals and leaders can take to close the gap between intention and action.
If you’ve ever wondered why smart, decent people sometimes cross ethical lines, this episode will open your eyes to the psychology behind moral blindness—and how to overcome it.
