Publisher's summary

Should a historical statue be taken down if the person memorialised was unethical? 
What should you consider before sending your DNA for a genetic analysis?
Is it enough for businesses to simply meet their legal obligations or should they exceed them?

The essential guide for decision-making when ethics are on the edge. Learn how to make ethical decisions in every situation, from personal to professional, and realise how you contribute to shaping the world, one decision at a time.

Ethics can be complicated and its boundaries blurred. Publicly, government leaders are acting against the welfare of their citizens, companies are prioritising profits above all, and technology poses risks to society through both innovation and misinformation with little to no repercussions. Personally, we struggle with how much to protect our children online, how to make informed consumer choices, and how to handle misconduct at work.

Behind virtually every ethical challenge we face, there are six forces and through a straightforward, four-step process, world class ethics professor Susan Liautaud gives you all the tools needed to navigate ethics. Learn how to develop a clear point of view, speak with authority and make effective decisions across all areas of life.

In The Power of Ethics, Liautaud shows how we all can make more ethical choices at home, at work, in our communities and in society and create a better world through the decisions we make every day.

Critic reviews

"A 21st-century ethics classic. A book for leaders to keep close at hand." (Rob Chesnut)

Great book! negotiated from ethical standpoint

Having working in Dreamliner, B787 that too on central brain and nervous system of the aircraft,. it was first tough to chew what Susan was pointing fingers to. As aviation industry strive to airworthy in almost all respects.

however, as chapters progress. ability to integrate ethics to decisions made perfect sense. More over, natural to systemic thinking process. It almost make you wonder, how you could miss it.

Complex systems thinking, and communication could be matched then integrating ethics in decision has obviously no choice.

More examples of grassroots leadership and ethics will help readers connect to myth of power failing in ethical dilemma.
