In both the for-profit and the not-for-profit sectors, there is
increasing focus on bottom-line results. As organizational goals
become ever more quantified, the role of the professional has
changed. In almost every profession, a growing conflict of interest
now exists between the push of the organization's highly specific
and measurable goals on the one hand, and the pull of professional
standards and values on the other hand.
The purpose of this book is to identify, describe, and
understand these conflicts of interests in a wide variety of
professional fields. This volume includes articles on medicine,
law, accounting, social work, clergy, insurance, computer
professionals, and advertising experts, among others, written by
experts in the fields. In addition, this volume includes a number
of broader pieces related to the topic of professionalism.
This volume documents evidence to support the contention that
there is a growing crisis in the professions, one that is not
limited to one or two professions. The good news is that there is
ample evidence that, in every profession, there are opportunities
for growth, as well. The professions are facing a defining moment.
This volume explores how they might respond.
