The Leader-Manager: Guidelines for Action

In Ethics and Leadership, management authority William D. Hitt addresses one of the most highly charged issues in corporate America: ethics and ethical behavior in day-to-day business. Ethics and Leadership promises no quick fixes or one-minute management techniques. Instead, it offers a thoughtful analysis of ethics, followed by guidance for making ethical decisions and promoting ethical behavior. It answers the need for an underlying philosophy that can guide executives beyond short-term management success to long-term leadership strategies. Ethical leaders, Hitt explains, not only do the right things but do them for the right reasons. Contents include: 
Importance of Morals 
The Good Life 
Leadership Styles 
Conflicts to Values 
Ethical Systems 
What Should Be Done

Ethics and Leadership: Putting Theory into Practice

Business Culture

In his previous four books, respected teacher and writer, Dr. William Hitt, has continuously emphasized the role of leadership in improving the ability of managers to cope with change and improve productivity. In his newest work, The Model Leader: A Fully Functioning Person, Hitt presents a comprehensive picture of the model leader and outlines a practical plan for readers to improve their own leadership skills and thus become more effective leader-managers. Hitt believes there is nothing so practical as a good theory and, in The Model Leader, he presents his theory that effective leaders are first and foremost fully functioning persons. Building on this premise, he creates a framework that allows leadership theory to be put into practice. Hitt identifies twenty-five competencies that contribute to leadership and provides an ideal model for each competency. By comparing themselves to the ideal, readers can evaluate their own strengths and weaknesses as leaders. Each competency is brought to life through quotes from leading thinkers on leadership and anecdotes that make it easy for the readers to relate the competency to their professional life. Once the characteristics of a model leader have been outlined, The Model Leader presents a unique Leadership Agenda, which gives readers the opportunity to develop a personal action plan to improve their leadership skills. The Model Leader represents the first step in a lifelong journey to improve leadership skills. It is a book whose impact will continue to be felt long after it is put down.
