Workplace Ethics

David Cay Johnston has made a name for himself as the defender of the common man, calling out the rich and powerful for cheating the system at the expense of everyone else. Whether he's exposing unjust loopholes in the tax code that help the rich get richer or pointing out how powerful corporations pocket government subsidies at excessive taxpayer expense, Johnston is an eloquent town crier for justice and equality.

Ethics - described briefly as the norms by which acceptable and unacceptable behaviors are measured - has been the concern, and perhaps the great dilemma, of sentient humans since Socrates subjected it to philosophical inquiry almost 2,500 years ago. Socrates believed, without universal acceptance, that the most pertinent issues people must deal with are related to how we live our lives, what actions are and are not righteous, and how people should live together peacefully.

Trust. Integrity. Accountability. These three words define every great leader, advisor, and professional, and they all begin with one powerful concept: Fiduciary Duty. We explore one of the most powerful and far-reaching principles in law, governance, and professional ethics — the fiduciary obligation.

Typically people react emotionally more severely to an exploited conflict of interest when a person gains a personal benefit such as through a bribe. If company, or even an office or department, stands to benefit inordinately, American society typically looks the other way on the institutional conflict of interest rather than taking it apart. This may just be human nature. However, the troubling institutional arrangements within an organization or between them may be tolerated because of the erroneous assumption that conflicts of interest are unethical only when they are exploited.

Perfect for new, aspiring, and seasoned managers seeking to navigate contemporary workplaces and lead effectively in all sorts of environments, The Leadership Route is a must-listen guide for working professionals at every level of the corporate hierarchy.

No matter who you are or what you aim to achieve, power determines whether you succeed or fail. But while power dynamics permeate every interaction in the workplace, the concept is very poorly understood or managed in practice. Everyone has influence over some people and is under the influence of others, and must choose how to deal with these realities in daily interactions. This book offers a comprehensive and applied understanding of power in a professional scenario: where it comes from, how it moves, and what that means in practice for how professionals work together.

Actionable Ethics is part of a larger regimen of ethics training, for the company (but, more broadly-speaking, for life). What makes it different is the fact that it shares techniques gleaned from neuroscience on how to make moral behavior habitual. As Aristotle said, “Excellence is not an act, but a habit." Almost every other ethics book or course available addresses itself to the front of the brain (where executive function takes place). Actionable Ethics, by contrast, addresses itself to the back of the brain, where habit-formation occurs.

In a world where leadership doesn't always know where we are headed, knowing how to get there can be even more challenging. In Loved Based Leadership, Dr. Maria Church builds and expands on her successful Loved Based Leadership model developed a decade ago. In this 10th Anniversary Edition, she explores the need for leadership based not on fear or intimidation, but on respect for self, respect for others, honor, and integrity

Change is the new norm in society, and it's having a devastating impact on organizations. The proof? Insecure, demoralized employees and the lowest levels ever of employee engagement.

With the ABCs of culture change, she provides a blueprint for leaders to consciously create a high-performing, values-driven organization.

「人はいいのに、組織としては残念……」その原因は組織の「体質」にありました。

部下やチームメンバーがやる気をなくさず、高いパフォーマンスを出すために、リーダーはなにをしたらいいか？　組織としてなにができるのか？職場はどのようになったら良いのか？

Corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and acting ethically are all accepted business aims, but their meaning and implementation in a global context is far less clear-cut. Global Business Ethics cuts through the confusion to provide a coherent basis for ethical decision-making within the complications of the international business landscape.

Commenting on a webinar I gave, a lady mentioned that my voice resembled Sean Connery's, the ultimate James Bond. Looking at her Linkedln profile I noticed she was in the editing business. I thanked her for the compliment and asked if she had any tips on how to get a book published. Her reaction was simple and straightforward: "There are already too many books." Nevertheless, I pursued my efforts and wrote yet another book on quality management.

Business has a bad name for many people. It is easy to point to unethical and damaging behavior by companies. And it may seem straightforward to blame either individuals or, more generally, ruthless markets and amoral commercial society. In Honorable Business, James R. Otteson argues that business activity can be valuable in itself. Done correctly, honorable business can enable flourishing for individuals and prosperity for society.
