Power of Ethical Management - Softcover

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale was one of America's most influential spiratual leaders, from the publication of The Power of Positive Thinking in 1952 until his death in 1993. A personal adviser to Presidents Eisenhower and Nixon, he also inspired millions with more than forty books, as well as radio and television broadcasts.

Addressing moral dilemmas in a time of influence peddling, insider trading and city-hall scandals, Blanchard (The One Minute Manager) and Peale (The Power of Positive Thinking) offer guidance in the form of a parable: a sales manager being pressed for results interviews a hot job candidate who promises that, if hired, he will disclose trade secrets of his former employer, a competitor. The sales manager agonizes over the ethics of the situation and seeks counsel with friends as well as a consultant who gradually puts things right with the help of an "ethics check" and "five principles of ethical power." The manager goes on to discover how company honesty and good feeling can be developed, with ensuing business success and profitability. The authors have produced a quick, inspirational read, with encouragement for those whose principles are at risk in business.
