Book description
An exposition of my ideas about ethics, and how you can move beyond a legal compliance perspective to lead with integrity and high human values.
This book presents a framework for understanding human values and their role in living, leadership and business. It offers an explanation for the spectrum of human behaviour, from a self-focused, survivalist mindset that has scant regard for ethics, through to compliance with laws and conventions, and then to the aspiration to live a higher ethical and spiritual life.
The book offers a practical guide on how to develop a more ethical way of working and being, both personally and in organisations.
You can read more about the book at my Ethics and Values in Business website.

It is such a wonderful and thorough coverage of business ethics. I particularly enjoyed the section on “world views” and also the coverage of the high-profile corporations. Is your book being used at business schools and universities to teach ethics? It needs to be!
