"Finally, a book about business and ethics that’s fit for the twenty-first century. Every executive should pay attention to this book."
~ R. Edward Freeman, UVA Darden School of Business
Today's headlines are full of employee unrest over racial injustice, communities infuriated by corporate environmental impacts, staff anxiety over surveillance, and discoveries of child labor in supply chains.
We’ve traveled far and fast from the old world of business ethics, where black-and-white concerns about bribery and fraud could be addressed with rules and processes.
Simply maximizing shareholder value while not breaking the law is no longer an option, but we've never been so confused about what it means to do the right thing.
In this eye-opening, indispensable book, NYU ethics professor Alison Taylor argues that amid stakeholder demands and transparency pressures, we can no longer treat ethics as a legal and reputational defense mechanism.
Leaders at Davos and the Business Roundtable have called for a new corporate responsibility paradigm, but how to implement their ideas remains an open question as organizations struggle in an atmosphere of heightened expectations and intense suspicion.
Offering vivid stories and examples, Taylor brings this complex, risky environment alive to provide a blueprint for how leaders should rethink and reshape their practices, navigating today's turbulent business landscape to build trust, and achieve long-term strategic advantage.
This book is a great read to kick of the new year for NEDs looking to gain expertise and practical suggestions to: build stakeholder trust; manage environmental and social pressure; integrate governance efforts; get serious about corporate political responsibility; navigate transparency pressure; and rethink ethical business culture.
