Description: The Ethical Executive by Robert Hoyk, Paul Hersey This book describes 45 psychological traps that every one of us fall prey to that cause us to act illegally or unethically. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this book, Hoyk and Hersey describe 45 "unethical traps" into which any one of us can fall. These traps, they say, can erupt in any organizational environment. Some of these traps distort our perception of right and wrong-so we actually believe our unethical behavior is right. Many of them are psychological in nature, and if we are not aware of them they are like illusions-webs of deception. In the authors analysis, these traps significantly contributed to the large-scale corporate disasters we witnessed in recent years.Hoyk and Hersey take account of these realities and offer a "real-world" method that will predict, preclude, and, if necessary, "get us out of" these traps. Given the increased scrutiny under which all executives and mangers operate today, this book is a must read for anyone who is charged with achieving an organizations mission-whether that mission is increasing profit, serving the common good, or both. Author Biography Robert Hoyk is a Clinical Psychologist and has conducted research in several institutions. He has taught communication skills to executives, physicians, and couples. Paul Hersey is Distinguished Professor of Leadership Studies at Nova Southeastern University. He co-authored, with Ken Blanchard, Management of Organizational Behavior (Prentice Hall).

Whether youre a CEO, a lay person, an executive or a manager, knowledge of the traps described in this book will give you chance after chance to make substantial deposits in your self-esteem bank account." - From the Preface by Anthony Parinello, Author, Think & Sell Like A CEO "The Ethical Executive is a must read for everyone. This book is clearly not just for managers or leaders, but should be read by all so as to avoid the traps that are pointed out in the text. The Ethical Executive can give individuals the experience of coping with ethical dilemmas before they arise. The book is clear and practical, and hence a quick read. It will save readers a lot of grief they could face in the future by knowing how to avoid ethical traps." - Randolph A. Pohlman, Ph.D., Dean, H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Nova Southeastern University "If you rate yourself as more ethical than your colleagues, are you more likely than they are to act ethically in a real-world situation? To find the answer to this and many other interesting facts about ethical behavior, read this book. It is a delightful compendium of those impulses that lead perfectly good people to choose seemingly safe paths of no return - and a guide to avoiding the first steps on a potentially disastrous journey." - Leslie S. Greenberg, Professor, Department of Psychology, York University "If money is your only goal and that end justifies your means, dont buy this book. If personal character, ethical choices and self respect are integral aspects of your understanding of success, buy it. Dr. Hoyk and Dr. Hersey have gathered accessible wisdom to help you untangle the ethical knots of your job. They write to guide, encourage and help you in your choice to be true to the highest you know and aspire to." - Reverend Dr. H.
