Goldman is a lawyer, an ethics scholar, and also a businessman, so his viewpoint is nuanced in a way that you won't get just from your legal counsel. He understands how complicated office ethical dilemmas can really be. The book is readable and you can actually use what it says. Great for HR people as well, although I think a large number of senior executives will be interested because of Goldman's unique background (Oxford doctorate in Ethics, law degree from Michigan, now teaches and practices law in addition to writing books...).

This book gives great guidelines with practical examples on how to handle real, everyday ethical / employment issues, like harassment, discrimination, power abuse and more -- for both the employer and the employee. I know and work with Stephen (he's a law professor and a practicing attorney at Sands Anderson). His book is highly readable and pragmatic, representative of his contagious energy and sensible approach. This book really is a must-have for business leaders, HR people and corporate lawyers who need practical guidelines on ethical transgressions and legal repercussions.

The item came as expected even though it took a little longer than I hoped. Overall though the transaction was very smooth.
