After watching Dov on Charlie Rose, I bought the book hoping to learn more about the business side of behaving ethically. In How, I wasn't disappointed. I found the case studies most helpful, including the donut vendor who lets customers make their own change and several longer stories based around
doing the right thing. In fact, I would have loved more of them (hence the four-star review).

I do not read business books. The only reason I read this one was my step-sister works for LRN, and she sent me the book. I liked it much better than I thought I would. The concepts are excellent and apply to most settings. There was only one example that didn't work for me, that of Steve Wynn in Las Vegas. This is because a family member lived through the chaos Wynn created when he recruited dealers from all over the country to work at his signature property, only to realize he couldn't pa

If you read any of the hundreds of business books on the market, you'll know the current trend of what to do in business. I've read and reviewed dozens of titles that all say that the key to business is doing what you say you are going to do and treating people like people (both clients and employees). These resources usually give all sorts of examples of successful companies that actually follow through on their promises. Some of the more involved ones give step by step instructions on what to

Dov's book is an excellent example of how chaotic and homicidal American business culture is maturing. The top-down, exploitative business practices of the industrial age are now outmoded. For the sake of business, business must redefine itself.
This is no platitude, Dov has worked with Fortune 10 companies for many years. He has watched these transitions first-hand. As business has become more global and companies have made grievous errors in global business, they have become mor More...

It's a pretty good combination 'self-help/business motivation and entertaining read' all wrapped in one. Any book that starts with the origins of "The Wave" (think MSG) is worth checking out in my opinion.

I rarely read business books, and only got this one as a review offering. I'm excited about it enough that I'm thinking about which executives in my company it would be good to gift it to. It would mean buying one, because I want to hang onto my copy...

This is one of the finest books I have read on the necessity of leadership in a world that demands honest connections. If we pursue our vision with anything less than passion & integrity, it is time to step back and adjust our course.
Dov Seidman confirmed my belief that truth telling is the first step in all important work. In fact, it's a step we need to return to again and again.

Skip reading this book. I can sum it up for you in one sentence: In business, treat others as you'd like to be treated.

A new mindset for a new, more wired, connected world. I don't know...I had difficulty pulling usefulness from this one, though some of his big picture insights are interesting.

Actually not bad, particularly in the light of recent governance scandals.

I thought this was about ethics but it was about the media through which we communicate. My bad.

So-so -- some good ideas but the author puts too much ego in the narrative.
