Drawing on interviews with twenty leaders in various fields, the authors trace the thinking processes, emotional reactions, and moral deliberations that led their final decisions. Not everyone made the right choice, but their experiences all contain important lessons in reaching the best possible decision in the most difficult situations.

I'm pretty picky about which business books I read, and tend to pass over most of the excerpts without even a careful reading. This book has me seriously intrigued though! The focus on how the quality of your character affects the quality of your work life and your relationships should be a MUST READ for soooo many business people I have met or know of through discussions with my husband. I used to try to encourage friends to practice what they learn at church in the office, and mostly I was looked at as if I had two heads or I was extremely naive. So far, this business book seems to contain many ideas that people who need to recenter or reaffirm their moral cores could REALLY use, business or otherwise.
