This is the first book to address everyday business ethics and their powerful potential for disaster or triumph. Shaped as much by Seglin's expertise as by business readers' responses to his 'Black and White' column in Inc., this book will change the way you make business decisions.-George Gendron, Editor-in-Chief, Inc. magazineThe human imagination has always been challenged and moved through compelling stories. Jeffrey Seglin's book is brimming with real stories, provocative dilemmas, and authentic perspectives. -Pierre Ferrari, Board Member, Ben & Jerry's Homemade, Inc.Jeff Seglin has written a book that will instantly be the standard against which all discussions of ethics in the workplace will be compared. With the skill of a neurosurgeon and the studied neutrality of a Freudian psychoanalyst, Seglin guides readers to a spot squarely between the horns of those ethical dilemmas that are of greatest concern to business people and does just what he should....let's you sit there and struggle with the evidence and analysis by yourself. Amazingly, Seglin never moralizes, sermonizes, or imposes any judgmental guidance. Instead, he has created a page turner on a subject with a well deserved reputation for demagoguery and pedantry. No professional who has --or longs for-- a conscience can ignore this book. -Dr. Steven Berglas, Lecturer, Harvard Medical School, Instructor, Anderson School of Management, UCLA, and Inc. columnistThe Good, the Bad and Your Business offers us something rarely found in business ethics: a presentation that pulls the reader into the reality of managerial decision-making. It is a world where ethics counts for everything but the ethical trigger points are entangled in people issues, time pressures, financial urgency and simple avoidance of uncomfortable choices. Seglin's informed and sensitive treatment leads us through these obstacles toward a path of open dialogue and honest questioning. In an increasingly complex and networked business culture, such road maps to ethics are a navigational must-Laura Nash, Director, Institute for Values-Centered Leadership, Harvard Divinity School
