Reviews

Effective leaders today must have a keenly developed moral compass, enabling them to navigate the turbulence of markets and public opinion while ensuring that employees are motivated, productive, and happy. Millick takes us down this path through the chapters in this important new volume. -- Page West, Ph.D., professor of strategy, Wake Forest University This is a much-needed collection that zeroes in on reality-based ethical values in the workplace, especially as seen and practiced from the managerial or leadership perspective. Well worth the read. -- Jerry Kirkpatrick, Ph.D., professor of international business and marketing, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In this book, Charles Millick and his [contributors] take the reader on a tour of perhaps the most important issue facing organizational leaders today: is it possible for true leadership, bedrock values, and authentic happiness to peacefully coexist in the modern organization? We learn the answer is yes. But more importantly, we learn how to make that happen. This book will be valuable to the new professional and the experienced manager. -- Marshall Schminke, Ph.D., professor of management, University of Central Florida What the business community has always lacked is a moral philosophy of self-defense. Millick's essays go a long way in providing such a defense. This book should be read by all business leaders and citizens concerned with restoring and maintaining America's free market system. -- C. Bradley Thompson, Ph. D., Executive Director, The Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism
