Description
Moral Courage: A readiness to endure danger for the sake of principle is at the heart of this thought-provoking exploration. Rushworth Kidder examines how moral courage spurs us to strive for core values and demonstrates its benefits to both individuals and society.
Through real-life examples, including Enron, Watergate, and domestic violence, Kidder reveals that moral courage is a bridge between talking ethics and doing ethics. He defines it as the intersection of action based on core values, awareness of risks, and a willingness to endure necessary hardship.
This book provides indispensable concepts and tools to help you respond to increasingly complicated moral challenges at work, home, and in your community. By exploring key questions, such as whether the benefit is worth the risk, you can make clear, confident decisions that align with your principles.
