What’s the cost of a little white lie?

Subir Chowdhury

We have all lied at some point in our lives, even if it is one of those little white lies you told your mother. However, lying is never acceptable unless and until you replace lying with being straightforward.

People don’t necessarily lie because they want to harm someone. It is actually because they want to avoid dealing with a difficult situation.

It is not always easy to be straightforward, but the more you do it the more liberating it feels.

 

One of the world’s pre-eminent experts on quality and process improvements, Subir Chowdhury is the #1 international bestselling author on SIX SIGMA philosophy. Hailed by The New York Times as a “leading Quality expert,” and by Business Week as “the Quality Prophet”, he is the author of 15 books. His latest book THE DIFFERENCE: When Good Enough Isn’t Enough (Crown Business, 2017) made it to the USA Today Bestseller list as well as National Bestseller in India. In 2017, India’s prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur established the ‘Subir Chowdhury School of Quality and Reliability’ – the first of its kind in Asia. He is the Chairman and CEO of ASI Consulting Group and helped his clients save billions of dollars.
