Temptations in the Office: Ethical Choices and Legal Obligations Goldman, Stephen M.

Sex, money, and power. Themes from the latest potboiler? No, these are key temptations in a place we all know well: The office. People work most productively in humane environments with high ethical standards. Management must set the tone by talking about, and embodying, values that promote decent behavior. But how? This book considers key workplace challenges--including sexual harassment, conflicts of interest, greed, and abuse of power--in which gray areas abound ("It may be legal, but . . . "). There is hope. As Stephen Goldman shows in this book, companies can move in the right direction by combining clear thinking about right and wrong and an understanding of the requirements the law imposes on conduct. And his simple guidelines for behavior will stand companies and individuals in good stead when temptations arise.
