The Practice of Ethical Leadership

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Claas Florian Engelke and Richard B. Swegan have achieved something truly remarkable. 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."

"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."

"This book brings psychological actionable insights that can power up people engaged in ethical leadership. After introduction and preface, the book step by step guides readers about A to Z that counts and matters in hiring and developing ethical leadership. The duo authors have given timely anecdotes, stories, references, and stats to assert how ethical leadership differs from traditional leadership...While narrating nuisances of ethical culture at workplaces, the book doesn't shy away from exploring ethical leadership and its allied ways and strategies in business behaviour...It's not only a resourceful book from business point of view but also delves deep in the foundation of ethics that is often build on the scaffold of love and authenticity. Some of the topics clearly expound about it. And also covers darker aspects by pinpointing other types of leadership that turn people off such as pathological and political leadership, which most of the times turn out to be toxic.

The content of the book is highly readable and it provides through understanding of ethical leadership's rudimentary aspects. It will deepen your comprehension as why ethical leadership is important in business ecosystem and to reflect with readers experience there are questions asked at the end of the each chapter."
