The Enron debacle, the demise of Arthur Andersen, questionablepractices at Tyco, Qwest, WorldCom, and a seemingly endless list ofothers have pushed public regard for business and business leadersto new lows. The need for smart leaders with vision and integrityhas never been greater. Things need to change--and it will notbe easy.
We can take a first step toward producing better businessleaders by changing some of our own ideas about what it means to"win." Noel M. Tichy and Andrew R. McGill have brought together astellar group of contributors from a variety ofperspectives--including General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt,former Secretary of State James A. Baker III, and renownedmanagement gurus Robert Quinn and C. K. Prahalad, amongothers--to offer insights that will help build better leaders,communities, and organizations. They show how to present a"Teachable Point of View" about business ethics that will help allleaders within an organization:
* Internalize core values
* Build a values-based culture across the organization
* Become engaged to teach the same values lessons to theirstaff
* Take action and raise the ethical bar
Successful business leaders must be able to articulate their ownunique Teachable Point of View on business ethics and drive itthrough their organization to ensure that everyone knows theethical line and is neither shy nor silent if others risk crossingit.
