Facts
A survey group of close to 250 people was asked to respond to the statement, “People who take ethical shortcuts are more likely to succeed at work.” Here's how they responded:
•I strongly agree: The best player—not the nicest player — wins. 9%
• I agree. Sometimes you have to make compromises to get ahead. 8%
• I disagree. Honesty is the best policy — usually. 17%
• I strongly disagree. People eventually smell a rat, no matter how good his disguise. 66%
