PLEASE SEE OUR SCAN. NO DUST JACKET. RED BOARDS & WHITE LETTERING. MINOR SCUFFING AND DISCOLORATION ON COVERS AND ON SPINE EDGES. OUR COPY HAS AN INSCRIPTION AND HAS BEEN SIGNED BY BOTH AUTHORS. SOME HIGHLIGHTING ON FIRST 33 INTRODUCTORY PAGES, NOT AFFECTING READABILITY.
This could’ve been at least 100 pages shorter and been a “good stuff version”. As it stands it’s repetitive, dull, and not particularly insightful. That being said there’s nothing objectionable about it except that it’s like most self help books: it’s only helpful in that it reinforces what you already think. This book will not change your life, but it’ll make you feel smarter about the way you’re already trying to live it.
Moral Intelligence speaks to a core set of values that leaders should have and how to align their professional goals with their morality in order to be more successful. It was a bit repetitive at parts - I was disappointed that it didn't provide more practical ways to integrate the values into your professional self - but it did provide many anecdotes of how highly successful CEO's and other leaders in the business world found and used integrity, responsibility, compassion, and forgiveness in their rise to the top .. and continue to use them today. Although some of the ideas in the book may seem like common sense, it definitely made me take a step back and evaluate my professional self and think critically about how to reach my ideal professional self.
There is also a Moral Competency Inventory at the end to help the reader scale their moral strengths and weaknesses based on the core values that the authors presented in the book.
This was a solid book that discussed having moral intelligence in business. It basically means doing the right thing in all your business decisions. The four key principles the book encourages us all to strive for are the following:
I have much to do to gain true Moral Intelligence in my personal and work life, but I will continually strive to do the right thing. It definitely pays off in the long run. A worthwhile read.
While most of the concepts are common sense, the book is great because it forces you to think about yourself and your values, goals, etc. It gives a good framework to help focus your professional and personal life and has great suggestions for leader-constituent interactions.
A landmark book in which the authors have put forward convincing arguments that business and ethics do go well together. It is a moral science lesson for the business leaders. A MUST READ ! More details about this book at http://bookwormsrecos.blogspot.in/201...
