First sentence: When a good friend who is a fairly high-profile literary agent heard that I had decided to take a year's leave to write a book on the language of business in ethics, he sent me a short note: "Good for you," he wrote.
Description: "The Good, The Bad, and Your Business shows companies how to run more efficiently by improving their navigation of everyday moral business dilemmas. Jeffrey Seglin reveals how otherwise decent people can make mistakes and find themselves in serious ethical trouble. His practical approach uses real-life examples to help you see the difference between a "gray area" and an outright misdeed so you can act faster when faced with such ethical decisions.".

"Without being preachy or theoretical, The Good, The Bad, and Your Business looks at how others have faced moral dilemmas and gives you the tools to help you reach your own decisions. You'll see firsthand how businesspeople have grappled with difficult issues, from how to draw the line between lying and posturing, to whether it's ever ethical to spy on competitors, to how to align personal beliefs with business practices.".

"You'll also discover the common misperceptions about ethics in business and learn how to define your "comfort' level - so that you can conduct business knowing you've made thoughtful decisions with full knowledge of the possible consequences."--BOOK JACKET.
