A Knight's Code of Business-How to Achieve Character and Competence in the Corporate World
Reports of corporate incompetence are rampant. More than ever you need a guide to help you navigate the corporate world from the bottom to the top. More than ever you need a manual to help you attain character and competence in your career and inspire others to do the same. A Knight's Code of Business is that guide--a manual to help each person stay on the right track and to inspire others to do so as well. It is filled with real, insightful stories from executives far and wide, who met challenges and stayed above the mire of greed and incompetence.
Research shows that 90 percent of employees display high moral character related to their business dealings, but many employees say their company is often run like an aristocracy, in which authority is concentrated in a few top executives who sometimes seem to get more than their fair share.
A Knight's Code of Business is a fun and insightful read, filled with real stories and advice that can help you become a Knight in your own business realm and foil the attempts of Evil Barons among us who satisfy their intense self-interests to the detriment of their companies and their fellow employees.
The author is an independent consultant who has worked on the client side, the agency side, as a researcher, strategist, employee and manager in his more than 30 years in business.
