«Wilful Blindness» is the social psychology essay by Margaret Heffernan, published by Simon & Schuster in paperback (391 pages, in English).
Drawing on the Enron case and psychological studies, it analyzes why people and organizations ignore the obvious when it is inconvenient. It examines obedience to authority, the influence of like-minded groups, the information overload of work and the rarity of whistle-blowers, and proposes ways to combat that blindness.
The book carries the subtitle «Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril» and was a finalist for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year in 2011.
A popular work for those interested in social psychology, corporate culture and organizational behavior.
