For millions, the last few decades of commerce have seemed to be characterized by increasing levels of profiteering, greed, and inequality. But an alternative picture—and alternative future—exists. In this alternative, corporations work with their employees, shareholders, and community members to build better and more prosperous lives for everyone.

In The Ethical Imperative: Leading with Conscience to Shape the Future of Business, distinguished executive Andrew C.M. Cooper delivers an inspiring and exciting new take on the roles that contemporary business leaders should play on issues including wealth inequality, rural economic decay, and climate policy. The author draws on more than twenty academic studies spanning over 50 years to convincingly demonstrate the rising threat of public apathy towards business and other public institutions.

You’ll learn how to move your organization beyond the archaic, profit-centric corporate culture that has proven itself detrimental not only to corporations themselves, but also to their own consumers, employees, and communities. You’ll also discover five strategies you can employ immediately to position yourself, your teams, and your company to thrive in an age of social media dominance and vanishing trust in corporations.

The Ethical Imperative explains how you and your firm can reorient yourselves to place long-term community well-being at the center of your decision-making. It shows you how to realize continual prosperity that transforms business into a more human and compassionate model of commerce. And it contains fascinating stories and actionable tools from a seasoned, youthful executive determined to change corporate culture from the inside out.

An essential and timely resource for managers, executives, directors, entrepreneurs, founders, and other business leaders, The Ethical Imperative is bound to become a widely read, dog-eared classic amongst aspiring and working professionals interested in how they can contribute to the next phase of commercial and corporate evolution.
