You don't have to be brave, a superhero, have a strong personality or be larger than life to incorporate defiance in your life. It's not just for the extraordinary people. It's available and it's necessary for all of us. We all need to learn how to defy so we don't go along with unethical practices. We allow for unfairness if we hear unfairness. a sexist or racist remark.

We all need to learn how to defy in order to live our lives according to our values. And interestingly enough, Stanley Milgram, who conducted the famous electric shock experiments where he had participants come in and give what they thought were harmful electric shocks to another person. They weren't actually giving those shocks, but they thought they were.

He actually said the people that obeyed the experimenter to give those harmful shocks, he described them as obedient and the ones that declined as defiant because we need that skill set to say no when things are very wrong.

So it's not about moral outrage, and it's not often about confrontation at all. It's determining how we want to live our lives and the type of society we want to create. Now, people have been under the influence of their peers because they're too polite to say no, and they end up in situations that they would rather not. And given that we...

value certain things such as integrity very, very highly, we might want to decrease that gap between what we think our values are and how we actually behave. So let me tell you, there's a survey of over 20,000 high school students. And in that survey, nearly two thirds of students have said that they've cheated on a test.

Nearly one third said that they have stolen something from a store in the past year. And over 80% said that they had lied to their parents about something significant. And I find that heartbreaking because I have a high school student right now. And this isn't unique to high school students. We start at an early age believing that our values are really important to us and we want to live by them.

When I ask my executive students to explicitly write out what their values are, integrity is seen again and again as a very important value. And then I ask them, so rate yourself in your level of honesty compared to everybody else in the room. If you think you're the most honest, on a scale of 0 to 100, you should put 100.
