Ethics has no enemies, or so we all like to think. Yet the corporate landscape has been an ethical battleground in recent years, with the corrupt behaviors of Enron, WorldCom, Tyco and others leading many to question whether "corporate integrity" is an oxymoron. But for most companies, fortunately, the problem is not whether to practice truthfulness and accountability. It's how to integrate such practices into the culture so that they are rewarded, self-perpetuating, and virtually automatic.

Absolute Honesty provides the blueprint. It gives you a template for creating and sustaining a business environment

of open communication and healthy debate. It replaces what the authors call the Kumbaya Syndrome --embrace all decisions, no matter how stupid or unethical; smile and sing the company campfire song! - with a straight-thinking system that respects honesty instead of demeaning it.

At once timely and timeless, this book shows you how to build a cultural infrastructure rooted in the Six Laws of Absolute Honesty.

Absolute Honesty describes the virtues that companies must practice to survive and flourish. This is also the age of transparency, when customers, regulators, and shareholders will demand full visibility into our companies. This book prescribes how managers must prepare for the time when anything other than truth and integrity will be exposed."
James Champy, Chairman of Consulting for Perot Systems and the author of Reengineering the Corporation

"Absolute Honesty makes timeless principles timely, affirming what most of us already know: integrity, honesty, and consistency are the foundations of communication. But their work goes beyond principles to actions. Their Six Absolute Honesty Laws offer specific guidelines to follow and actions to take to ensure a candid and truthful culture. This is a book worth doing, not just reading."
