The Power of Ethics by Susan Liautaud, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The essential guide for ethical decision-making in the 21st century. It’s not your imagination: we’re living in a time of moral decline. Publicly, we’re bombarded with reports of government leaders acting against the interests of their constituents; companies’ prioritizing profit over health, safety, and our best interests; and technology posing risks to society with few or no repercussions for those responsible. Personally, we may be conflicted about whether to purchase products from companies which perpetuate practices we don’t believe in; how much privacy to afford our children on the internet; or how to handle misconduct we witness in our personal and professional lives. How do we find a way forward? Today’s ethical challenges are increasingly grey, often without a clear right or wrong solution, causing us to teeter on the edge of effective decision-making. With concentrated power structures, rapid advances in technology, and insufficient regulation to protect citizens and consumers, ethics are harder to understand than ever. But, in Ethics on the Edge, Susan Liautaud shows how ethics can be used to create a sea change of positive decisions that can ripple outward to our families, communities, workplace, and the wider world—creating unprecedented opportunity for good. Drawing on two decades as an ethics advisor guiding corporations and leaders, academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, and students in her Stanford University ethics courses, Susan Liautaud provides clarity to ethical boundaries, walking you through a straightforward, four-step process for ethical decision-making you can use every day. Liautaud also explains the six forces driving virtually every ethical choice we face. Exploring some of today’s most challenging ethics dilemmas, showing you how to develop a clear point of view, speak out with authority, make effective decisions, and contribute to a more ethical world for yourself and others, Ethics on the Edge is the must-have ethics guide for the 21st century. | The Power of Ethics by Susan Liautaud, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
