People - friends, family members, work colleagues,
salespeople - lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly,
constantly. None of us are immune, and all of us are
victims. According to studies by several different
researchers, most of us encounter nearly two hundred
lies a day. Now there's something we can do about it.
''Liespotting'' links three disciplines - facial
recognition training, interrogation training, and a
comprehensive survey of research in the field - into a
specialized body of information developed specifically
to help business leaders detect deception and get the
information they need to successfully conduct their most
important interactions and transactions. Some of the
nation's leading business executives have learned to use
these methods to root out lies in high stakes
situations. Why? Because a global Deception Epidemic has
emerged, that began with Enron, Worldcom, and the
dot-com bust, and has now peaked with the mortgage
crisis, Madoff and a fourteen billion dollar tainted
milk controversy in China. Trust has hit an all time
low.''Liespotting'' is the first book to bring years of
knowledge - previously found only in the intelligence
community, police training academies, and universities -
into the corporate boardroom, the manager's meeting, the
job interview, the legal proceeding, the deal
negotiation, and everyday transactions. |
