The author discusses his recently released book, "The 5 Questions for Ethical Decisions: How to Succeed without Selling your Soul," with Clifford Brangwynne. Book signing to follow.
About the Books (from the publisher):
Whether in our daily work or in our personal life, even the most conscientious people with the best intentions can make ethically questionable decisions. "The 5 Questions for Ethical Decisions" helps you identify your own ethical “true north” and avoid the costly missteps that can betray your values, damage your relationships, and even end careers.
Each of the book’s five chapters begins with a provocative question that illustrates a foundational aspect of ethical practice and explains how to apply these questions to define and uphold your own values. This practical yet robust framework provides a process for ethical decision-making in professional and personal matters that strengthens self-awareness, improves intentionality in decision-making, and enhances the ability to think beyond the moment in a pressure-packed, fast-paced, and rapidly changing world.
Drawing on David Miller’s two decades of experience teaching professional responsibility and ethics to a diverse audience, including undergraduate and graduate students, entrepreneurs and young professionals, and senior executives and civic leaders, The 5 Questions for Ethical Decisions offers compelling and inspiring stories of moral courage and success, cautionary tales of ethical compromise and failure, plus end-of-chapter takeaways and exercises to help build your “ethical fitness.”
