Summary: THIS BOOK COULDN'T be more timely. Corporate scandals still reverberate, the latest round concerning the "backdating" of stock options.

As we look over the business terrain of the past decade, the disasters that await us if we disconnect ethics from performance are obvious. Clearly, an ethics-free focus on performance is a superb way to destroy performance. The only thing it secures is a strong shot at jail time.
