Cheating is deeply embedded in everyday life. The costs of the most common forms of cheating total close to a trillion dollars annually. Part of the problem is that many individuals fail to see such behavior as a serious problem. "Everyone does it" is a common rationalization, and one that comes uncomfortably close to the truth. That perception is also self-perpetuating. The more that individuals believe that cheating is widespread, the easier it becomes to justify. Yet what is most notable about analysis of the problem is how little there is of it. Whether or not Americans are cheating more, they appear to be worrying about it less. In Cheating, eminent legal scholar Deborah Rhode offers the only recent comprehensive account of cheating in everyday life and the strategies necessary to address it. Because cheating is highly situational, Rhode drills down on its most common forms in sports, organizations, taxes, academia, copyright infringement, marriage, and insurance and mortgages. Cheating also reviews strategies necessary to address the pervasiveness and persistence of cheating in these contexts. We clearly need more cultural reinforcement of ethical conduct. Efforts need to begin early, with values education by parents, teachers, and other role models who can display and reinforce moral behaviors. Organizations need to create ethical cultures, in which informal norms, formal policies, and reward structures all promote integrity. People also need more moral triggers that remind them of their own values. Equally important are more effective enforcement structures, including additional resources and stiffer sanctions. Finally, all of us need to take more responsibility for combatting cheating. We need not only to subject our own conduct to more demanding standards, but also to assume a greater obligation to prevent and report misconduct. Sustaining a culture that actively discourages cheating is a collective responsibility, and one in which we all have a substantial stake.

"Corporate Social Responsibility and Leadership" provides the needed tools for local and global business leaders - whether entrepreneur, CEO, executive, officer, or manager- to act in a legal, ethical, and socially responsible manner. Acting in a responsible way will require business leaders to be cognizant of various stakeholder interests as well as the ability to balance conflicting constituencies in a fair manner. The result should be the creation of long-term, sustainable value, not "merely" for the shareholders but also for the employees, customers, communities, and all the stakeholders of the organization, including society as a whole. Besides the author, a few of the other contributing writers to this book from Afghanistan, Thailand, Pakistan, and Argentina are Bahaudin G. Mujtaba, Seeting "Grace" Zaelor, Muhammad Zeb Khan, and Isabel Rimanoczy. It is hoped that the book supplies a reminder, a rationale, and a guide for legal, ethical, and socially responsible behavior, as well as a warning of the "fruits from the poisonous tree"; and consequently the book serves as a tool for true business success, stakeholder responsibility, and organizational and societal sustainability.

Ethics and Leadership is an anthology that addresses ethics, leadership, as well as some of the most important topics regarding leadership. The book is divided to three sections that reflect these three topics. The articles that are presented in this book are a collection of published articles or book chapters, as well as original manuscripts. This book is best utilized as a textbook for both undergraduate and graduate students. You will find both key terms and discussion questions at the end of each chapter. The available textbooks on ethics and leadership neglect to discuss some of the most important issues that leaders encounter in daily basis, such as issues faced by women of color, leadership in the age of technology, diversity and leadership, LGBTQ communities and leadership, ethical global leadership, just to name a few. Ethics and Leadership was created to fill this gap. Besides the topics in leadership, there are chapters that address both ethics in leadership and issues related to the relevance of ethics in leadership, as well as articles that address kinds of leadership styles. This book addresses ethics and leadership from the interdisciplinary perspectives, with contributions from diverse groups of scholars. The book aims to give future leaders the awareness, tools, and theories that they need to be more mindful of their world, and the challenges that their followers face, be they internal, external, consciously or unconsciously inflicted on them. It is the goal to become effective leaders, who create inclusive work environment for whom they lead. Studying ethics helps us in our everyday interactions. It is no surprise that studying of ethics helps us navigate our responsibilities where we are looked up as leaders, and mentors.
