Ethics and HRD A New Approach To Leading Responsible Organizations

As corporations become increasingly more powerful, their decisions have a larger impact on the social and ecological landscape both domestically and internationally. In Ethics and HRD, Tim Hatcher shows how human resource development departments can foster ethical consciousness and play an important role in transforming their organizations into responsible corporate citizens. He describes the relationship between ethical leadership, social responsibility, and HRD and shows how to synthesize them into a new and more sustainable paradigm for HRD. The first book of its kind, it will serve as a guide for managers, human-resource professionals, and students of HRD alike.

Tim Hatcher is an associate professor of leadership and human-resource education at University of Louisville. A sought-after speaker, and the author of numerous articles and monographs on corporate social responsibility and ethical leadership, he lives in Louisville, Kentucky.
