Sobre IBD

This book is a guide to public sector ethics covering the major obstacles and stigmas within the field. For example, the ethics and rules of behavior will differ greatly in an elementary classroom versus a public library or a sanitation route or a battlefield. The book offers macro and local level ripped-from-the-headline style examples spanning areas such as whistle-blowing, public official scandal and resignation, even the age old stigma 'are government employees lazy?'
