Synopsis

Based on 15 years of research, To Be Honest explains how four factors (Clear Identity, Accountability, Governance and Cross-Functional Relationships) affect honesty, justice and purpose within a company. When these factors are absent or ineffective, the organizational conditions compel employees to choose dishonesty and self-interest. But when done well, the organization is 16 times more likely to have people tell the truth, behave fairly and serve a greater good.

To Be Honest shares the stories of leaders who have acted with purpose, honesty and justice even when it was difficult to do so. In-depth interviews with CEOs and senior executives from exemplar companies such as Patagonia, Cabot Creamery, Microsoft and others reveal what it takes to build purpose-driven companies of honesty and justice. Interviews with thought leaders like Jonathan Haidt, Amy Edmondson, Dan Ariely and James Detert offer rich insights on how leaders can become more honest and purposeful. You'll learn how Hubert Joly took Best Buy from a company on the brink of bankruptcy to one that is profitable, thriving and purposeful.

Filled with real-life examples, To Be Honest offers actionable steps, practical tools and approaches that any leader or manager can use to create a culture of purpose, honesty and justice.

Anyone else tired of the latest scandal of fraud, bribery, or other self-dealing at a major global company? As a former Fortune Global 20 compliance officer who has established three compliance and ethics programs from the ground up, I am.

Charles Feltman's Thin Book of Trust is one of my favorite leadership books because it highlights how individuals can utilize both affective and cognitive trust to become more trustworthy (we tend to use only one at a time). Ron Carucci has followed up with an invaluable resource that highlights how......more

An amazing book that covers a wide breadth of topics. I love the flow and insights Mr. Carucci shares, supported with research and deep analysis. The book takes leadership to a different level, making it less theoretical and more practical. There were a number of great stories and examples that illus......more
