Taft W: Ethics in Service

Ethics in Service

Some Business Books Teach You How to Win. This One Teaches You What Winning Actually Means. 

Bill Barrett's father grew up poor in the Bronx, worked as a janitor, and spent eight years earning his college degree while supporting a family. He pulled all-nighters not because he loved the grind, but because he loved the people counting on him. And when he passed away, a retired client drove three and a half hours to the funeral, not out of obligation, but because that relationship had meant something real.

That's what authentic success looks like. Not the flashy kind that fades with the next market shift, but the enduring kind built on hard work, genuine care, and treating people like people, not transactions. It's the kind of legacy that outlasts any bottom line.

You'll discover:The transformative power of genuine human connection, where caring deeply about others creates success that extends far beyond the bottom line
Why playing the long game and developing an abundance mindset separate those who merely survive from those who thrive and leave lasting legacies
The art of being fully present and sharing your time generously, creating the kind of impact that has people driving three hours to honor you decades later



A moving tribute to a father's wisdom and a son's journey to carry it forward, Authentic reveals the timeless principles that build not just successful careers, but lives rich with meaning, relationships that endure, and legacies worth leaving.

An Old-School Approach to Building a Full Life, a Successful Business, and Real Relationships

Authentic

Your growth is real. So is the pressure to bend on hiring, honesty, and culture to keep it. This book is about staying built to bend without ever quietly breaking.

Every founder starts with a quiet promise: build this the right way. Built to Bend is about what actually happens to that promise between the founding and everything after - not in one dramatic moment, but in a series of specific, survivable-seeming decisions: the hire you almost regret, the investor pitch that rewards a little shading of the truth, the sales call that tests your spine, the layoff you didn't see coming, the star performer whose behavior is quietly poisoning the team.

Written by a founder-advisor who has sat across the table for exactly these moments, this book skips the abstract "stay true to your values" advice and gives you something more useful: a clear-eyed account of what compromise actually looks like when it's dressed up as necessity, and a concrete way to choose differently, before you're standing in the room under pressure with no time to think.

What's inside:

- Why the first hire you're tempted to overlook a red flag on almost never turns out to be worth it
- The specific spectrum between honest framing and quiet deception in a fundraising pitch - and a test for knowing which side of the line you're on
- How to say no to a customer's unrealistic ask without losing the deal or your integrity
- Building a real values filter for hiring, instead of a poster on the wall
- Handling layoffs, star-performer problems, and board updates with honesty that actually builds trust
- Why reputation is the most durable, compounding asset your company has - and the fastest one to lose
- A founder's guide to staying honest all the way through an exit

BUILT TO BEND

Das moderne Recht wirft viele grundsätzliche Fragen auf: Ist Recht mit Gerechtigkeit notwendig verbunden? Was ist überhaupt Recht und was Gerechtigkeit? Wie verhalten sich Recht und Moral zueinander? Warum und unter welchen Bedingungen ist Recht verbindlich?
Diesen und zahlreichen anderen Fragen zu Recht, Ethik und ihrer Bedeutung für Staat und Gesellschaft geht Mahlmann in seinem Lehrbuch anhand von vielen Beispielen nach - von der Folter über die neuen Herausforderungen Künstlicher Intelligenz für das Recht bis hin zu Perspektiven einer internationalen Friedensordnung in einer Epoche neuer Kriege. Dabei schlägt er einen Bogen von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart und entwickelt vor diesem historischen Hintergrund Antworten auf zentrale systematische Fragen der Rechtsphilosophie und Rechtstheorie.

Accelerate better decisions, sharper communication, and more responsible AI use by cutting through confusion and turning messy information into clear thinking and practical action.

Aren't you fed up with dashboards, statistics, automation, and nonstop digital noise? This book can help you make sense of what matters and ignore what does not. Explore why critical thinking, communication, and ethics are no longer optional skills in the age of AI. They are the difference between reacting to information and using it well. Whether you work in analytics, business, technology, leadership, or simply want to think more clearly in everyday life, this book offers a grounded way to approach data, decisions, and modern work.

Solve the real problems people face when dealing with information today, including biased data, black box models, misleading metrics, privacy concerns, weak collaboration, and overreliance on artificial intelligence. See how thoughtful analysis can improve decision making, how strong communication can reduce misunderstanding, and how ethical action can keep organizations from making costly mistakes. These ideas are not presented as abstract theory. They are tied to practical situations involving data storytelling, workplace communication, evidence evaluation, AI risk, and responsible problem solving.

You will also find a clear framework for handling modern challenges such as misinformation, semantic drift, spurious correlations, unclear requirements, and poor analytical habits. The book connects timeless reasoning skills with current issues like generative AI, prompt writing, explainability, human oversight, and trust in automated systems. Experience how to ask better questions, test assumptions, weigh evidence, communicate uncertainty, and stay focused when the signal hides in the noise.

Become aware of the human edge in an AI world: judgment, clarity, context, and the ability to communicate ideas that actually move people toward action. If you care about critical thinking, business communication, ethical AI, analytics, data culture, privacy, and smarter decisions, you will find tools you can use right away.

Data Without Drama is a smart, readable guide for anyone who wants to work with information more confidently, collaborate more effectively, and bring calm, clarity, and sound judgment to a data-filled world.

Data without Drama

Beacon Classics

These political, philosophical, and literary essays mark the first collection of theoretical writing from the acclaimed novelist and French feminist writer Monique Wittig. “Among the most provocative and compelling feminist political visions since The Second Sex. These essays represent the radical extension of de Beauvoir’s theory, its unexpected lesbian future. Wittig’s theoretical insights are both precise and far-reaching, and her theoretical style is bold, incisive, even shattering.” —Judith Butler, Johns Hopkins University

The Straight Mind

A guidebook to the institutional transformation of design theory and practice by restoring the long-excluded cultures of Indigenous, Black, and People of Color communities. From the excesses of world expositions to myths of better living through technology, modernist design, in its European-based guises, has excluded and oppressed the very people whose lands and lives it reshaped. Decolonizing Design first asks how modernist design has encompassed and advanced the harmful project of colonization—then shows how design might address these harms by recentering its theory and practice in global Indigenous cultures and histories. A leading figure in the movement to decolonize design, Dori Tunstall uses hard-hitting real-life examples and case studies drawn from over fifteen years of working to transform institutions to better reflect the lived experiences of Indigenous, Black, and People of Color communities. Her book is at once enlightening, inspiring, and practical, interweaving her lived experiences with extensive research to show what decolonizing design means, how it heals, and how to practice it in our institutions today. For leaders and practitioners in design institutions and communities, Tunstall’s work demonstrates how we can transform the way we imagine and remake the world, replacing pain and repression with equity, inclusion, and diversity—in short, she shows us how to realize the infinite possibilities that decolonized design represents.

Political Corruption and Governance

This book explores how public sector organisations at both national and local levels of Swedish government work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations.Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining citizens' trust in public organisations. Whilst various performance indicators suggest that public governance works well and corruption is low, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden. It analyses how ethics management is used in public sector organisations, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion in public sector ethics management, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.&nbsp;It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practiitoners.&nbsp;Staffan Andersson
 is Associate Professor in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. His research interests include political and administrative ethics, corruption and anti-corruption.&nbsp;
 Helena Ekelund
 is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Her research interests include agency governance at national and EU levels.

This book explores how public sector organisations work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations. Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining public confidence in these organisations. Many established and wealthy democracies face a paradoxical situation. While various performance indicators suggest that public governance works comparatively well and with relatively low corruption levels, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden, at both national and local levels of government. It analyses ethics management strategies in public sector organisations and the bodies that support their ethics work, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practitioners.

Public Sector Ethics in Practice

We say the word Integrity in the business context constantly. It appears on corporate websites and in mission statements, sits at the top of regulators' principles, and features in almost every leadership speech. Yet ask most people what integrity actually is -- how you build it, test it, or notice when it's gone -- and the answers run dry. This book sets out to fill that gap.The authors reframe integrity not as compliance, image or moral superiority, but as alignment: the quiet, demanding practice of keeping what we value, what we say and what we do in one piece, especially when pressure, ambition or fear pull them apart. This book's central insight is that integrity moves in two directions at once. It is built from the inside out, through our own values, choices and courage. And it is sustained or eroded from the outside in, through leadership, culture, incentives and power. To understand integrity, you have to understand both.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PRACTICE

A USA TODAY BESTSELLER! What do conservatives actually believe? In this powerful and inspiring manifesto,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author and former Vice President Mike Pence pens a 21st-century version of&nbsp;The Conscience of a Conservative.&nbsp;With candid insights after decades as a happy warrior in the movement, Pence convincingly explains why the Republican Party must choose enduring conservative principles over the temptations of big-government populism. Conservatives know that wisdom often begins by consulting the people who came before us. As Barry Goldwater wrote, conservative principles persist because they are rooted in the truth. But this isn't just a book about the past. It's about how time-tested conservative principles can be applied to the problems of tomorrow. Pence explains why conservatives believe our rights come from God and then articulates conservative positions on the right to life, limited government, law and order, economic freedom, the national debt, federalism, patriotic education, the traditional family, peace through strength, and standing with Israel, among many other issues-as well as the virtues of character, civility, and statesmanship in our politics. Few politicians have the strength of character of former Congressman, Governor, and Vice President Pence. Pence&nbsp;is the standard bearer for true conservative values at a time when many readers and voters no longer understand what it means to be a conservative, or why conservative values are so important.&nbsp; &nbsp; In&nbsp;What Conservatives Believe, Pence&nbsp;writes about the importance of conservatism with authority, respect, and candor. As he's fond of saying, "I'm a conservative&nbsp;but I'm not in a bad mood about it." A true statesman and leader, Pence defines conservatism for a new generation in what promises to become a timeless conservative classic.

Rediscovering the Conservative Conscience

What Conservatives Believe

The second half dives into high-risk regulatory areas-antitrust, international business, labor and wage laws, HIPAA and health care, environmental regulations, and more-offering clear explanations of the laws and actionable best practices to stay ahead of costly missteps. Whether you need to strengthen an existing program or build one from the ground up, this guide provides the essential tools to mitigate risk, meet regulatory demands, and unlock the productivity gains that come from doing business the right way.
