Description: "Noel M. Tichy and Andrew R. McGill have brought together a group of contributors from a variety of perspectives - including General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt, former Secretary of State James A Baker III, and renowned management gurus Robert Quinn and C.K. Prahalad, among others - 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 all leaders within an organization: international core values; build a values-based culture across the organization; become engaged to teach the same values lessons to their staff; and take action and raise the ethical bar."--Jacket.
