The Truth About Lies in the Workplace is more than about spotting liars at work.  It's about recognizing our own roles in fostering workplace deception, understanding how our own biases affect the way we interpret & relate to lies of others, and finding ways to minimize the destructive impact of lies & hidden bias.  Carol Kinsey Goman brings these concepts together in ways easy to understand.  Our challenge is to use this understanding to do the hard work required to create open, honest & productive workplaces.

--Marci Rubin, Executive Director, California Minority Counsel Program

"What a fabulous topic for today's leaders. As we move toward heterarchical organizational design, there’s never been a more important time to deal with deception in the workplace.”

"In today's hyper-connected world, transparency and trust in the workplace is critical. Carol Kinsey Goman clearly understands the power of honest, collaborative leadership. And that's no lie." 

--Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval, Chairman and CEO, respectively, of Publicis Kaplan Thaler

"Goman's book sheds light on a phenomenon in business that too many of us prefer to act as if it doesn't exist: deception. Not only does she use her expertise in non-verbal communication to help identify when lies occur, but she goes further to provide clear actionable steps we can take to address it. As she pulls back each layer of this onion the reader begins to see the power of establishing greater trust in our organizations (and the cost of not doing so). She doesn't just give platitudes for why this should occur, but direct steps we can take to help cause it. The Truth About Lies in the Workplace is a must-read for emerging and established leaders alike." 

--JD Schramm, Ed.D., Director, Mastery in Communication Initiative, Stanford University Graduate School of Business

"Lying in the workplace causes huge problems for business -- proper people do not get promoted; profits are generally compromised; wrong steps are made; and muchmore. This book should be a best seller."

 --Robert L. Dilenschneider, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Dilenschneider Group, and Best-selling author of Power and Influence: A Briefing for Leaders

"Carol Kinsey Goman offers a thoughtful, often counter-intuitive, and actionable analysis of lying in the workplace and in life.  She is an exceptionally good business writer.  Her work is practical and useful.  I highly recommend Goman's The Truth About Lies in the Workplace to any business women or men who manage people."

--Timothy Askew, CEO, Corporate Rain International

"In this ground-breaking work, Carol Kinsey Goman, Ph.D., boldly enters a topic that has been taboo for far too long, and reveals the tools and tactics necessary to spot the liar in our midst. We attempt to hire warriors, only to realize too late, we have hired a cunning liar. Now there is no excuse! The Truth About Lies in The Workplace is a game changer, and a long overdue weapon in the toolkit of every HR professional."

--Brad Szollose, Award-winning author of Liquid Leadership: From Woodstock to Wikipedia

After 30 years in the training and development industry, I have come to trust Goman’s expertise in body language and nonverbal cues in the workplace. This book provides practical solutions to help organizations develop strategies to deal with liars at work – keeping in mind that some liars should not be “dealt with” at all. I would recommend this book to any leader working to improve culture and effective communication within his/her organization.

--Margie Mauldin, President, Executive Forum

“People lie for different reasons. It can be driven by fear, greed, or even an organizational culture that encourages it. No matter what the reason, lying destroys employee morale and ultimately the bottom-line. The Truth About Lies in the Workplace gives you the tools to cut through to the truth and helps you determine what to do when you spot lies.”
