Ethics and Leadership: Putting Theory into Practice

In Ethics and Leadership, management authority William D. Hitt addresses one of the most highly charged issues in corporate America: ethics and ethical behavior in day-to-day business. Ethics and Leadership promises no quick fixes or one-minute management techniques. Instead, it offers a thoughtful analysis of ethics, followed by guidance for making ethical decisions and promoting ethical behavior. It answers the need for an underlying philosophy that can guide executives beyond short-term management success to long-term leadership strategies. Ethical leaders, Hitt explains, not only do the right things but do them for the right reasons. Contents include:
