The boss
CEOs and team leaders are used to lies of all hues -- the white lies and those of a more dangerous variety -- every day at work. A colleague has a twisted ankle, the trains are stuck (CEOs don’t take trains so they wouldn’t know), an uncle has passed away – the list is long enough for a book. “But every boss has been a junior once, and often lies and liars ring a bell. It’s easy to spot most lies since you’ve probably tried the same trick as a youngster,” a team leader tells us.
