- Synopsis
- This small volume presents directly applicable ideas and tasks that teach the reader how to feel empowered to speak up and persist in speaking up for what's right in the work place. Gentile (Babson College, Wellesley, Mass.) fashions the principles behind the concepts into a clear set of skills for action, with the belief that most people know the difference between right and wrong but are hindered for many reasons in speaking up in the workplace. Ethics, psychology, and philosophy are part of the text's content, but the main focus is on values and action, how to overcome fear of conflict, understand the motivation of others, look ahead to see risk, communicate with others, and generally feel empowered to act for what's right in the workplace. An appendix contains extensive study aids for the reader and materials for peer-coaching. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews.com)
