Ethical Executive

In this book, Hoyk and Hersey describe 45 "e;unethical traps"e; into which any one of us can fall. These traps, they say, can erupt in any organizational environment. Some of these traps distort our perception of right and wrong-so we actually believe our unethical behavior is right. Many of them are psychological in nature, and if we are not aware of them they are like illusions-webs of deception. In the authors' analysis, these traps significantly contributed to the large-scale corporate disasters we witnessed in recent years.Hoyk and Hersey take account of these realities and offer a "e;real-world"e; method that will predict, preclude, and, if necessary, "e;get us out of"e; these traps. Given the increased scrutiny under which all executives and mangers operate today, this book is a 'must read' for anyone who is charged with achieving an organization's mission whether that mission is increasing profit, serving the common good, or both.
