"This is a compact, well-written, and above all utterly honest book about how many in the senior echelons of the business world are prone to using cliches, half truths, and ill-considered statements as gospel. Neil McNulty brings deep experience in both executive search and military leadership to sketch a better path: honest, defendable, and sometimes controversial communications that ultimately will shape a far better corporate workplace. A must read for leaders at every level."-Admiral James Stavridis, US Navy (Ret); partner and vice chair of the Carlyle Group; chair of the Rockefeller Foundation; and former Supreme Allied Commander, NATO. Author of The Restless Wave: a Novel of Love and War
"The Fifteen Most Repeated Lies in Business Today will surely draw a variety of reactions from readers, and especially CEOs. Neil McNulty clearly points out the half-truths many CEOs and senior-level leaders echo in regard to such areas as remote working, subordinates evaluating supervisors, and "open door" communication companies, to name just three. He promises that readers will recognize all fifteen lies (I know I did) and also ensures each chapter ends on a high note by proposing solutions for effectively and truthfully addressing specific situations. A good read." -John R. Broderick, former president of Old Dominion University and author of over fifty published works on higher education
"Neil McNulty has written an insightful book that captures the lies and half-truths leaders can tell others-and themselves-about their organization. He offers better ways to express in an honest and truthful manner that which can give leaders greater self-confidence and credibility. The author's long experience with organizational leadership and career development provides a superb background for understanding these leadership lessons." -General Anthony C. Zinni, US Marine Corps (Ret), former Commander-in-Chief, United States Central Command; special envoy to the Middle East; Fortune 500 CEO; and best-selling author
"Neil McNulty understands the intersection between employee and employer extremely well. After decades of working with both parties, his book is extremely insightful. It provides guidance for both employers and employees to consider before final decisions are made. As a CEO (of a nationwide company), I appreciate that he points out how important it is to consider our answers to questions prospective employees will ask. Will our companies actually deliver on all that we promise? If not, perhaps it is time for us to make some changes." -Mary Scott Nabers, President & CEO, Strategic Partnerships, Inc.
