From Stephen M. R. Covey, Author of The Speed of Trust
“This book meets an urgent need by providing a clear, detailed roadmap for ethical leadership. There are plenty of books that approach ethical leadership at the theoretical level. What Linda has done in 7 Lenses is to develop a practical, actionable model that managers and leaders can use as a guide to make ethical choices.”
–Stephen M. R. Covey, Author of The Speed of Trust (From The 7 Lenses Foreword)

Review
--Dr. Mark Goulston, M.D., Co-Founder of Heartfelt Leadership and Author of International Best-Seller Just Listen Thank you, Linda! It's about time we got past the simplistic rule-based do's and dont's approach to ethics that ties us in can't-win knots. 7 Lenses offers just the type of principle-based ethics leaders can use to take responsibility for the greatest number of wins across diverse contexts.
--Christopher Avery, Founder and President, Partnerwerks, Inc.
7 Lenses is a CEO must-read for gaining a fresh perspective on ethical leadership and what it can mean to the success of your organization.
--Chip Conley, Founder Joie de Vivre Hospitality and Fest300 and NY Times Best Selling Author of Emotional Equations
A business book that not only discusses how to improve business, but also how to build a better world. Well done, Linda.

Lisa Fisher Thornton has tapped into a potential river of flowing water from a well of ethical behavior that I believe almost everyone thirsts for in their personal and professional lives. It is an easy to read and understand premise and set of behaviors that I think most of us struggle to balance in our leadership walk daily. Pressures, pushing us to make decisions we might not otherwise make, are easily identified using the 14 daily principles that Lisa and defined. Your challenge is to balance the decision making process using the 7 lenses to form a more holistic decision and set of values that guide and ground your decision making ability.
Run, don't walk to buy this valuable resource and then join the movement to change the definition of "IS" when defining ethical leadership.
