Additional text
'Malhotra and Shotts have achieved the seemingly impossible: they have written a truly useful book on ethical leadership.

Instead, they brilliantly integrate philosophical insights, psychological tendencies, and organizational realities to offer a clear and replicable path for solving any real-world leadership challenge.'
