Isn’t that an oxymoron?” As a lecturer in ethics, communication, and leadership at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and a moderator of the Aspen Executive Seminar, Leigh Hafrey has heard time and again that ethics and business don’t mix. In \u003ci\u003eThe Story of Success: Five Steps to Mastering Ethics in Business\u003c\/i\u003e, Hafrey draws on fifteen years of conversations with businesspeople at all stages of their careers, from MBA to Chairman of the Board, to articulate five steps that generate ethical practice:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. Speak Up, Speak Out: define your managerial style\u003cbr\u003e2. See the Big Picture: recognize the forces that affect your practice\u003cbr\u003e3. Break the Rules, Make the Rules, Absorb the Costs: drive change, and know it\u003cbr\u003e4. Tell Good Stories: find stories that bring out the best in your people and yourself\u003cbr\u003e5. Test for Truth: distinguish fact from fantasy in your story-telling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHafrey illustrates these five steps through contemporary books and movies: to show how we elaborate a managerial style from early childhood, he discusses adult readings of Du Bose Heyward’s classic children’s tale, \u003ci\u003eThe Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes\u003c\/i\u003e; to explain professional standards, he quotes Chinese MBA’s on the warrior code of characters in Ang Lee’s Academy Award-winning film \u003ci\u003eCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.\u003c\/i\u003e Hafrey juxtaposes these reports with real-life businesspeople’ s stories of career challenge and personal success, and speculates on the way in which American business values increasingly shape and will be shaped by global culture.","brand":"Other Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134274453744,"sku":"9781590514689","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781590514689_p0.jpg?v=1763805102","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781590514689","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
