"""With Claas Florian Engelke and Richard B. Swegan’s new book, The Practice of Ethical Leadership, the authors take up the cause of describing the key ethical leadership competencies that will not only help leaders avoid their company’s name appearing on the front page with a scandalous headline, but create the type of positive business environment that attracts top talent, gains consumers’ trust, and increases long-term sustainability. The Practice of Ethical Leadership describes the foundation upon which leaders should consciously make decisions...and pose an array of scenarios and case studies to illustrate several considerations when faced with taking ethical action. For example, is turning down a potential new client based on ethical values a sound business decision? And if so, how do you communicate your rationale to the client you turned down, your board of directors, and company management? Is there a price to pay for displaying such integrity and authenticity? For purpose-seeking employees, discerning customers, and a values-deprived corporate world, The Practice of Ethical Leadership shows the way to creating a positive business culture, fostering trust, inspiring loyalty, and contributing to the development of a new generation of leaders who take to heart their responsibility for doing the right thing.""

They have embraced the utilitarian principles observable in the Lean system, married them with distinctive, informed observations, and have come out with one of the most succinct, well-articulated, and objectively informed books on postmodern corporate leadership in some time. While their book, The Practice of Ethical Leadership: Insight from Psychology and Business in Building an Ethical Bottom Line, may not be flowery and lithe in terms of heavy-handed communicatory style, this is more than made up for by their overall ability to make things straightforward, and extensive.""
