Leading Quietly	Adopting a heroic stance to deal with ethical dilemmas can be more suicidal than effective. The author of Leading Quietly uses ten detailed examples to show that reality is much more complex that it is usually portrayed in theory. To address these seemingly inextricable situations, he exhorts managers to adopt a modest, pragmatic attitude. "Be aware of your personal motives, learn how to stall for time, proceed with caution, find compromises, etc." A somewhat unorthodox but how realistic advice, which will help you resolve dilemmas more effectively.

Good Intentions Aside	In this book, ethics are described as a crucial part of long-term corporate success. The author criticizes traditional thinking on the subject, in which ethics are viewed as a mere safeguard in an otherwise ruthless quest for profit, and proposes an alternative model that helps create value for all concerned and provides the organization with powerful decision-making tools.

Defining Moments	This book deals with the complex subject of resolving the ethical dilemmas confronting managers. The reality is often more complex than a simple choice between doing the right thing or giving in to immoral temptation, since all of the available options may be contradictory, but morally justified. The author provides a guide to ethical thinking inspired by philosophic works to help managers make thoughtful choices.
