Dios nunca se da por vencido contigo es para los luchadores entre nosotros y para los ineptos que llevamos dentro. Para los que somos en parte santos y en parte sinvergüenzas. Tenemos buenas intenciones, pero ¿lo hacemos bien? Bueno, no siempre. Tenemos avances, sin duda, pero también fracasos, a menudo en la misma hora. No necesitamos que nos los recuerden.

Max dice de su versículo favorito: «Cada vez que recuerdo estas palabras, son tan frescas y sorprendentes como mi primer encuentro con ellas.

It is easy to condemn obvious wrongdoers such as Elizabeth Holmes, Adam Neumann, Harvey Weinstein, and the Sackler family. But we rarely think about the many people who supported their unethical or criminal behavior. In each case there was a supporting cast of complicitors: business partners, employees, investors, news organizations, and others. And, whether we’re aware of it or not, almost all of us have been complicit in the unethical behavior of others. In Complicit, Harvard Business School professor Max Bazerman confronts our complicity head-on.
