This book presents an ethical framework which evaluates the
legitimacy of the practice of ghostwriting. It explores the
connection between personal authenticity and the use of
ghostwriters in corporate, political, legal, higher education, and
scientific contexts. It then examines the history of ghostwriting
as a professional practice and introduces a model for ethical
analysis. In this book, the authors shrewdly address crucial
ethical questions such as: When is it acceptable for a leader to
claim the words of a ghostwriter as their own? When may this be
inappropriate or even dangerously misleading? What are the
consequences when public awareness of this practice leads to
cynicism about the authenticity of leaders and their
communications? And when, if ever, is the use of a ghostwriter
ethical? This book will be welcomed by scholars and practitioners
alike as an original and timely contribution to the literature of
business, politics, and communications.
Beat the competition. Go global. Influence government. Persuade
customers. Increase shareholder value. These are among the
pressures to perform in today's business environment, and the
consequences of failure can be dire. Leaders must stay ahead of
competitors and deliver results, all while trying to do the right
thing by employees, customers, communities, and other stakeholders.
Yet the opportunities to cross ethical boundaries are widespread
and compelling. What are leaders learning as they face these
challenges? Over a dozen of today's most influential
leaders--people who grapple with ethical dilemmas on a near-daily
basis--share real-world perspectives from the trenches, showing the
breadth of ethical challenges facing today's leaders in a variety
of industries and professional fields. Leaders on Ethics is a
window into the minds of some of our most prominent leaders. It
features first-hand presentations by CEOs and other nationally
known executives, originally given to their peers during discussion
forums at The Southern Institute for Business and Professional
Ethics. In addressing subjects ranging from marketing with a
conscience to promoting workplace diversity to dealing with the
implications of globalization, these leaders provide a wide variety
of perspectives on the ethics of leadership. Along the way, they
reveal successes and failures and present lessons learned in
navigating the tumultuous waters of today's society. The following
leaders, among others, share their experiences in facing--and
facing down--ethical dilemmas and challenges: *James Copeland,
recently retired chairman and CEO of Deloitte & Touche,
discusses ethics in public accounting and the uncertain future
ofbig accounting firms. *Debra Waller, chairman and CEO of Jockey
International, on the ethics of using sexual images to sell apparel
to young people. *Jack Ward, chairman and CEO of Russell
Corporation, on the challenge of managing workforce diversity.
*Deval Patrick, former executive VP, corporate secretary and
general counsel of The Coca-Cola Company, former general counsel of
Texaco, and now the governor of Massachusetts, on globalization and
corporate accountability. *Karen Katen, president of Pfizer Human
Health and vice chairman of Pfizer, on ethical issues in the
pharmaceutical industry. *Ed Zinbarg, retired chief investment
officer and chief administrative officer of Prudential Life
Insurance Company, on what businesses can learn about ethics from
the world's major religions. *John Wieland, founder and CEO of John
Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods, on the ethical challenges he
encountered in developing an entrepreneurial firm. *Steve Odland,
chairman and CEO of The Office Depot and chair of the corporate
governance task force of Business Roundtable, on what corporations
are learning about best practices in ethical governance. Framed by
insightful commentary by ethics and leadership expert John Knapp,
this volume illuminates ethical leadership in action, and its
timeless principles will serve to inspire and guide aspiring
leaders, students, and entrepreneurs for decades to come.
For the Common Good showcases the insights, reflections, and
recommendations of some of today's most forward-thinking and
inspiring leaders, as they explore the challenges of leadership in
the context of our global, 21st-century society. Featuring original
essays by such luminaries as Nobel Prize winner John Hume;
Leader-to-Leader Chair Frances Hesselbein; Harvard University's
Howard Gardner; M.K. Gandhi Institute's Founder Arun Gandhi; poet
David Whyte; and President Jimmy Carter, For the Common Good
stresses the need for a new kind of leadership committed to
promoting social welfare, justice, and opportunity. Against the
all-too-familiar backdrop of corporate malfeasance, scandal in our
religious institutions, political chicanery to serve ulterior
motives, and constant reminders of the corruptive influences of
power, the contributors apply their expertise in such fields as
ecology, education, and conflict resolution to illuminate emerging
roles and responsibilities of today's leaders. Collectively, the
authors argue that because individuals, institutions, and societies
are now so profoundly connected and inter-related, every decision
of consequence has a ripple effect. Leaders of all stripes,
including corporate executives, politicians, social activists,
scientists, and educators, must display courage, integrity,
humility, and the wherewithal to consider the long-term impact of
their decision and actions. Most important, they must engage in
dialogue and recognize that creative solutions to complex problems
require collaboration across sectors and cultures to achieve common
goals. The result is a provocative and multidimensional exploration
of leadership in troubled and troublingtimes--but with a hopeful
note that individuals and organizations will rise to the
challenges.
Psychology as the Discipline of Interiority is the first collection
of essays dedicated to the study and application of Psychology as
the Discipline of Interiority-a new 'wave' within Analytical
Psychology which pushes off from the work of C. G. Jung and James
Hillman. The book reflects upon the notion of psychology developed
by German psychoanalyst Wolfgang Giegerich, whose Hegelian turn
sheds light on the notion of soul, or psyche, and its inner logic
and 'thought', forming a radical new basis from which to ground a
modern psychology with soul. The book's theme - 'the psychological
difference' - is applied to topics including analytical theory,
clinical practice, and contemporary issues, ranging from C. G.
Jung's Mysterium, to case studies, to the nuclear bomb and the
Shoah. Psychology as the Discipline of Interiority expounds upon
the complexity, depth, and innovativeness of Giegerich's thought,
reflecting the various ways in which international scholars have
creatively explored a speculative psychology founded upon the
notion of soul. The contributors here include clinical
psychologists, Jungian analysts, and international scholars. With a
new chapter by Wolfgang Giegerich and a foreword by David Miller,
Psychology as the Discipline of Interiority will be essential
reading for depth and clinical psychologists, Jungian
psychoanalysts in practice and in training, and academics and
students of post-Jungian studies. It is also relevant reading for
all those interested in the history of philosophical thought and
what it means to think in the highly sophisticated and
technological world of the twenty-first century.

At a time of great economic uncertainty, The Business of Higher
Education looks at the pros and cons of colleges and universities
taking a more business-like approach to fulfilling their missions.
How can colleges and universities navigate their way between
shrinking commitments and the increasing expectations of their
students? Does the answer lie in taking a more business-like
approach? This extraordinary resource considers the costs and
benefits to both public and private institutions and to society
when academe embraces business models for improving
cost-efficiency, marketing, hiring practices, and customer service.
Bringing together a diverse team of contributors from the academic
and business worlds, The Business of Higher Education offers 35
essays in three volumes. The first volume explores issues of
leadership and culture, the second focuses on management and fiscal
strategies, and the third volume takes up issues of marketing and
consumer interests. Throughout, the work balances the contrasting
perspectives of those within the academy and those outside of it,
as it considers whether higher education and the public interest
are ultimately helped or harmed by the application of business
methods to essential academic functions.
Why do so many Christians struggle to relate their faith to their
daily work? In this book John C. Knapp argues that the church's
ambiguous teachings about vocation, money, and business have long
contributed to Christians' uncertainty about discipleship in the
workplace. Drawing on his own expertise in business ethics and
numerous interviews with Christians in diverse occupations, Knapp
offers a new theological framework for Christian life in the world
of business.
