Ethics 101

In *Ethics 101*, John C. Maxwell, a foremost authority on leadership, cuts through the complexity and confusion surrounding ethics, presenting a refreshingly simple, yet profoundly effective framework built entirely around the Golden Rule. This is not a dense philosophical treatise, but a practical guide, filled with relatable stories and examples, distilling essential ethical principles into actionable steps for daily life. Maxwell challenges the pervasive notion of "situational ethics" or "gray areas," arguing that such justifications often mask a lack of core integrity. He unveils the costly consequences of compromise, clearly shows that convenience isn't a substitute for commitment and debunks the myths used to rationalize less than honorable choices. *Ethics 101* is a reminder that integrity isn't a sliding scale, but a binary choice – and consistently applying the Golden Rule ensures that we create an upward cycle in which we treat others as we'd want to be treated.
