A compass

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)

Editorial Reviews

Review

This book is a thought-provoking look at ethical responses to leadership challenges. I highly recommend it as a tool for having meaningful discussions with leaders in your organization.
--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.
 --Keith Ferrazzi, NY Times Best Selling Author of Who s Got Your Back?
