Recent global economic crises have highlighted the devastating impact of
business leaders becoming unmoored from an ethical base. Stakeholders now demand
that they restore integrity at the heart of the enterprise. Leading with
Integrity: A Practical Guide to Business Ethics equips business leaders and
managers with the understanding and tools to set the right ‘tone at the top’,
embedding a culture of integrity and compliance with ethical and organisational
values.
Leading with Integrity: A Practical Guide to Business
Ethics:
- makes the case for an ethical approach to leadership;
- explores why leaders sometimes lose their way;
- prescribes the personal characteristics for leading
with integrity;
- outlines a system for cultural and strategic alignment
in organisations at home, abroad and in the boardroom; and
- provides a ‘leading with integrity toolbox’ and a robust framework for ethical decision-making.
A must-read for leaders in any sector and at all levels, non-executive directors as well as governance, risk and compliance
professionals, the book concludes with a series of masterclasses in ethical
leadership from some of Ireland’s leading business people, including Tony
Smurfit (Smurfit Kappa), Siobhán Talbot (Glanbia) and Feargal O’Rourke
(PwC).
