Decades of surveys show us that the American public has lost faith in its leaders. We don’t really need survey data to know this is true. Just peruse your favorite source of media and you will see a distrust in leaders from all sides of the political spectrum. It may be the only thing that our divided country agrees about. Even the leadership education experts have lost faith in the clients they are supposed to educate. After spending billions of dollars per year on leadership education, those educators observe that leaders have never been less respected or more distrusted than they are today.How can we escape our leadership predicament? We can start with a basic insight that trust or distrust in a leader is often based on the ethics of that leader. Yet many people, including our leaders, struggle to articulate what ethics is even about, much less how it relates to leadership. This book fills that gap by describing how our story of ethics has developed over the last 2,500 years and how understanding that story will help leaders regain the trust of a public that wants and needs their leaders to be worthy of trust.

  • On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
    HENRY DAVID THOREAU
    Civil Disobedience argues that citizens should not permit their governments to overrule their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War, but the sentiments he expresses here are just as pertinent ...
