This chapter-level audiobook can change the way you listen to BigShots - mostly businesspersons with a snapshot or two of politicians - as they pontificate for public consumption and personal gain. You'll recognize the spin, that dastardly polite euphemism for lies that the advertising/PR folks coined years ago to anoint their profession with a bit of undeserved dignity. In the process you might gain a more realistic grasp of what's going on around you and how your mind is being manipulated, aka brainwashed.

The managers profiled in this audiobook are totally convinced that dignity is the root cause of their firms' profitability and sustainability. I think you'll enjoy getting to know them and profit from their insights.

I am not a lawyer; I am survivor of a divorce that to a great extent was resolved amicably because my lawyer/partner and I adhered to the principles and rules I put forth in this book.

This book is about the aspects of leadership that are difficult to measure but impossible to ignore. It implores leaders to adopt new ways to think, behave, and relate to create profits and meaning, to create that elusive and euphoric state of knowing what really matters today and in the distant future.

Ethics - described briefly as the norms by which acceptable and unacceptable behaviors are measured - has been the concern, and perhaps the great dilemma, of sentient humans since Socrates subjected it to philosophical inquiry almost 2500 years ago. Socrates believed, without universal acceptance, that the most pertinent issues people must deal with are related to how we live our lives, what actions are and are not righteous, and how people should live together peacefully and harmoniously.

I've written millions of words - speeches, strategic plans, articles, and all sorts of marketing lies and spins that I politely call corporate gargle. I've done that for a gaggle of executives who toil for businesses large and small, manufacturers and service providers, technologists, and accountants. I've been practicing this dark, draconian art and teaching others how to follow my lead for 40 years.
