Willful Blindness
Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril
Margaret Heffernan
Willful Blindness by Margaret Heffernan delves into the reasons behind our tendency to turn a blind eye towards impending disasters, whether they be personal or corporate. Through anecdotes and interviews with psychologists, neuroscientists, and whistleblowers, Heffernan explains how and why certain people see what others don't, and proposes solutions for individuals and groups to overcome the phenomenon of willful blindness. This thought-provoking read challenges readers to confront their biases and become more mindful of the world around them.

Highly recommended reading if you value the need speak up and as I say "brutal honesty (polite) over hypocritical politeness". Politeness can do a lot of harm: Willful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril – source
