Description
"If you are planning to make accusations I'd advise you to get the evidence first. Otherwise I'd watch your mouth, Stasi-boy". Andre Stacey's life is turned upside down when an anonymous tip-off forces him to examine the behaviour of his colleagues, his own actions and aspirations and that of his company. It's not easy for Andre when close allies suddenly seem to have another agenda.
Are they naive? Are they turning a blind eye? Or are they involved?
The Tightrope is a fast-paced management novel revealing how easily and unpredictably corruption and fraud can strike at the heart of your organisation. Through the eyes of Andre Stacey we learn how to recognise and overcome the political, practical and human challenges of dealing with corruption and fraud in our working lives.
