Recommendation
Leadership expert Tony Simons identifies and quantifies how keeping promises benefits a manager’s reputation and a company’s financial performance. His study of 76 Holiday Inn hotels examines their profitability in light of their employees’ assessments of the managers’ integrity; the only variables were employee perception and financial results. Simons explores the nature of integrity – a prized but elusive quality in leaders – and explains how to practice the values you and your company preach. getAbstract recommends this absorbing analysis to leaders, managers and staffers who aim for better results with honor.
