Doing the Right Thing

How does a high potential young leader end up becoming a high profile lawsuit?  The CEO of Anglo-Irish Bank has just been jailed for fraud.

In this practical book I show that moral leadership is a muscle that can be developed, like getting fit in a gymnasium. It can be taught, mentored and practiced daily within the little decisions – even like paying for two cups of coffee when the waitress mistakenly charged you for one.
