In a world of slipping standards and poorly resolved ethical dilemmas, a book providing clarity on ethical decision-making is of great need to a global community clearly in need of a moral compass. In my view, Dr. Peter Akindeju, with his strong record of ethical leadership, is eminently qualified to tackle this great topic. In this book, he addresses ethics and ethical decision-making from personal, professional, and organizational perspectives and also examines the subject within the context of a globalized world. I wholeheartedly recommend this book for both leaders and those seeking leadership from all walks of life.
This is an excellent and very detailed book. There is so much to digest and contemplate while internalizing it all. Congratulations to Peter Akindeju for putting together such a difficult and complex subject, especially at a time when humanity seems to be on the verge of imploding with the apparent glorification of predatory models all around us. "Ethical Decision-Making: A Guide to Ethical Dilemmas in Professional and Personal Life" reminds me of something my mother said almost three decades ago: “Morals are the behaviours that society judges by. Ethics are the behaviours that your conscience judges. Each of us, depending on where and when we are born, draws a line and says, "From there to here is good; from there to here is bad." And things start to get difficult as we get closer to the line. Reason and rationality vs. emotions and desires bring to the fore an individual's considerations around community vs. self. Peter's comprehensive and poignant prescriptions lay the moral foundations for building an immutable relationship between actions and the ownership of consequences. A must read for all generations. I will always recommend it to the folks I meet.
