Every day we hear stories about the consequences of human frailties for individuals, their families and friends, and their organizations. Some of these stories are about alcohol and drug addiction and other harmful lifestyle choices, but human frailty also leads to all kinds of unethical and illegal behaviour. Individuals are convicted of bribery and corruption, price fixing, theft and fraud, sexual harassment and abuse of authority. Politicians fiddle their expenses, sports people cheat and fix matches and school and university students and teachers cheat to enhance exam results. Studies have shown that business students cheat more than others and efforts to teach ethical behaviour in business schools make little difference. The media who bring us stories of others' frailties themselves engage in unethical and illegal conduct in pursuit of an edge over their rivals. The contributions to this latest addition to Gower's Psychological and Behavioural Aspects of Risk Series place the spotlight on individuals, their behavioural choices and the consequences that follow for theirs and others' lives and careers. The conclusion is that people do have choices and options and that, whilst there are no easy or quick fixes in addressing self-limiting behaviours, successful avoidance of the worst outcomes can been achieved. This book provides guidance on the practical steps that need to be taken in order to gain a sense of proportion of what is important and of how we are doing, if we are to address our frailties and stop making unethical choices.

Every villain has his weakness. She is mine. It takes a lot more than getting shot in the head to kill a guy like me, but the bastards got me good. I’ll give it to them. They got me so good that when I finally wake up, I realize I’ve been in a coma for weeks. Not days. Weeks. And the weird thing is, I can’t remember a single thing about that day. Not who saved me, not hearing the EMTs arrive. Nothing. But I do remember who I am. I just pretend not to. Trust me, it’s safer that way. Safer for me, for the people involved in this, and the strange woman sitting next to my bed when I wake up. Sadie is the one who found me in the forest. She’s the one who called 911. And as I soon find out, she’s the only person who has been visiting me for weeks. I might not like owing people favors, but even I have to admit that I owe her my life. If all she needs in return is a fake boyfriend, then that’s exactly what I’ll be. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is an act. For both our sakes...
