A Practical Guide to Ethics: Living and Leading with Integrity

by Scott R. Stroud, Rita C. Manning

This essential new text is designed for courses in contemporary moral issues, applied ethics, and leadership. Emphasizing personal choice in the study of ethics, the authors take the reader on a journey of self-discovery rather than a mere academic survey of the field of ethics. A Practical Guide to Living and Leading with Integrity helps students develop their skills in ethical decision-making and put those decisions into effective practice. Its unique focus on leadership, especially the moral dimensions of understanding one's own values, teaches students to understand and, through dialog and negotiation, communicate their own beliefs as a step to building coalitions with those who may hold different views. It is also distinctive in combining ethical theory with both multicultural ethics (Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, feminism) and a practical orientation to moral decision-making and leadership.

This was assigned for reading in an ethics class I took at FHSU Virtual College. I kept the book after class was done because it is ... practical!

I needed this for school, but honestly the stories and testimonies were really good and made me think.
