Intentional Integrity: How Smart Companies Can Lead an Ethical Revolution – and Why That's Good for All of Us

This book was recommended in one of the NACD webinar (National Association of Corporate Directors). I first checked one out from the local library, read the half way through, and decided that I should buy this book. Robert Chesnut shares his experience to help us understand how to make ethics work in corporate settings. Philosophical yet practical. There are case studies at the end of the chapters. There are appendix succinctly discussing Chesnut's view point for those case studies. This is helpful but I just tend to read though an author's opinion. So, I had discussion sessions with my ChatGPT. It was helpful to say my thoughts out loud and have a discussion partner (it was ChatGPT) give me feedback on them. ChatGPT also gave me though-provoking questions. I really enjoyed reading this book and discussing the case studies with ChatGPT.

Just love this book. Excellent read forProfessional Ethics

Not only applied to the corporate America. It’s a masterpiece about the soul of any organization should represent.

I know on paper, a book by an Ethics Officer / General Counsel from Silicon Valley might not appeal to many, but as they say, don't judge a book by it's cover. I think this is a book that is very readable and filled with many relatable examples - with so many real-life examples included - some you would have seen in the press but others I was reading about for the first time.I actually wish anyone who is part of the leadership team for any organisation would read it. It's one thing ticking boxes to show compliance, but having an organisation that includes ethics in their decision making throughout every level is something else. If more leaders thought about the impact of their behaviour and their decisions, the world would be a better place.The book provides case studies, poses questions and discussion points. I think what is most helpful, is just like real life, not all the examples provided are the clear cut - "that is absolutely wrong" - type of cases. I think it also recognises that integrity can be hard to define and there is no one size fits all approach.

Relatable & very readable and engaging. Ethics and Trust and Safety can be difficult subjects for cross functional leadership teams to relate to. The author brings issues to light and a process that teams can use or modify. We used this on our team as an opening to a annual planning process and it drove an uplifting start to our year.
