'Organizational misbehaviour is a relatively frequent occurrence. So is attention to whistleblowers that articulate such misbehaviour and are frequently punished for doing so. Reducing the risk of individual punishment and increasing the public stigmatization of organizational misbehaviour is the aim of Kate Kenny's extremely well-researched and written book. It shows how social networks can support lone voices of dissent and truthfulness in the face of misbehaviour by organizational elites. It provides sound advice for everyday democratic activism.' Stewart Clegg, Professor, School of Project Management, University of Sydney and Emeritus Professor, University of Technology Sydney
