Managing with Integrity

Meer over het boek

This compelling work examines the role of character in business through the experiences of America's top CEOs. Drawing on interviews with 125 leaders of major U.S. corporations, it demonstrates that ethical decision-making and profitability can coexist. The author presents numerous practical examples showing that many powerful figures in corporate America prioritize ethics over expediency, adhering to a higher standard than often assumed. By revealing the strategies these leaders use to navigate daily ethical challenges, the book offers valuable insights for executives, managers, and entrepreneurs facing their own dilemmas. It candidly explores executive decision-making and provides a practical guide for developing a moral philosophy in business. The author poses critical questions about success and meaning in business, ultimately finding that organizations with noble purposes tend to be the most profitable. The book challenges the notion that decency and success are mutually exclusive and highlights the dimensions of success emphasized by senior executives. Written in an engaging, nontechnical style and filled with real-world examples, this work serves as a counterbalance to the cynicism often associated with corporate America.
