At last, there's a business leadership book that really tackles the tough issues of integrity and governance. Taking a unique approach to leadership, this book gathers the path-breaking perspectives of influential shareholder activists; opinion-leading CEOs of major firms; trailblazing, distinguished academics; and courageous regulators. The all-star roster of contributors from the corporate world and academia includes Vanguard's John Bogle, former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt, and Harvard Business School's Rosabeth Moss Kanter. Sherron Watkins, Enron whistleblower and Time Person of the Year, shares an inside look at Enron, and Barbara Ley Toffler, former head of Arthur Andersen's Ethics Practice, paints a picture of Anderson Consulting before their fall.

LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE FROM THE INSIDE OUT

"Gandossy and Sonnenfeld have assembled a thoughtful framework for rebuilding trust in business. It is important that business leaders of the future are comfortable around this subject. Reading this book is a start."
-Jeffrey Immelt, CEO, General Electric

"The subject of corporate governance is daunting, covering a sometimes bewildering array of complex legal, ethical, and financial issues. Gandossy and Sonnenfeld deserve immense credit for bringing together distinguished contributors from the worlds of academia and business to address these critical subjects in a single comprehensive volume."
-Henry M. Paulson, Jr., Chairman and CEO, Goldman, Sachs & Co.

"Gandossy and Sonnenfeld offer us many viewpoints on corporate governance and shed new light on the dysfunctions of seemingly functional organizations. I don't agree with all the remedies, but I clearly understand the anger of the betrayed employee and investor. Corporate crooks should face swift justice. Everyone else should read this book."
-Hank McKinnell, Chairman and CEO, Pfizer Inc.

"A superbly crafted, thought-provoking, and compelling contribution to the dialogue of the day on corporate leadership and governance."
-Doug Conant, President and CEO, Campbell Soup

"I have dreaded most 'required readings' since college. Then along comes this fantastic book filled with great essays about what the somewhat ethereal notion of good corporate governance means, not in the abstract but in practice. I didn't think that any one text could assemble so many heavyweights on the issue. That's why this required reading breaks the mold on a topic that most of us wish we didn't have to focus on but we must because the consequences of ignorance are decidedly non-blissful."
-James Cramer, founder of The Street.com and co-host, CNBC's Kudlow & Cramer
