PRAISE
FOR THE ETHICS CHALLENGE
In the “shades of gray” smog
of today’s ethical
landscape, it is refreshing to find someone who is willing to speak in
terms of
black and white. It is even better to find a book that identifies these
values
and relates them to individual experience so that we may learn from the
principles that are presented. .
—David
Lucas, Chairman of The Bonita Bay Group
The Ethics Challenge is a hopeful and practical
guidebook for anyone
concerned with improving the quality of their lives. Serving as a
counterweight
to the never-ending headlines that say that we live in a world of greed
and
self-interest, Bob Stone and Mick Ukleja provide illuminating examples
of good
people doing the right thing in difficult situations. The authors not
only
describe the “ethics challenge” each of us faces
every day, they offer useful
suggestions for the many ways, big and small, that we can make the
world a better
place.
—Thomas I. White, Hilton
Professor of Business Ethics
and Director, Center for Ethics and Business, Loyola Marymount
University
Today
more than ever, we need ethical leaders to set the example—to
lead the way—to demonstrate in everyday situations what
ethical
behavior looks like. The
Ethics Challenge will help you become just such a leader.
Our world needs this book!
—Bill Coyne, President
& CEO, Raley’s Family of Fine Stores
The
Ethics Challenge is a powerful reminder in these unsettled days that
the basic value of doing the right thing never changes, no matter what.
Ethical behavior is an essential element in long-term
business
survival, and it is a beacon for others to follow. In this important
book, Bob Stone and Mick Ukleja have set the course. Will you follow?
—Peter
Economy, Associate Editor, Leader to Leader magazine
The Ethics Challenge fills
a key niche in the marketplace of today’s society. It is an
intelligent, informative “read” that will motivate
you to
identify the “unenforceable set of rules” we each
have
inside us and then memorialize them for greater clarity and personal
commitment. Any leader who wants to enhance an
organization’s spirit, morale and productivity will learn the
value of talking about—and living out—ethical
behavior, and
then reaping the many benefits!
—Bill Shumard, CEO of
Special Olympics Southern California
The
Ethics Challenge is an insightful and practical view by two
exceptional leaders who understand the importance of ethics in both
your business and personal life.
