"Leading a successful life, as in leading an organization, requires a person to identify and confront an endless stream of tough, ambiguous questions. This is essential reading for anyone who aspires to both ask the right questions and seek the right answers-answers that ultimately define true character and extend impact beyond
me to
we." -- Thomas J. Tierney, Chairman and Co-Founder * The Bridgespan Group *
"McCoy draws on his personal experience as well as the work of a range of intellectual giants—from Dante and the Rule of Saint Benedict to Immanuel Kant, Peter Drucker, and Lynn Sharpe Paine—and offers a compelling answer to the fundamental ethical question How shall we live?" -- Oliver Williams, Director, Center for Ethics & Religious Values in Business * University of Notre Dame *
"Describing the aim of the book as an aid to 'increase ethical awareness and sensitivity in myself and in others,' the author does an admirable job on both counts." --
Library Journal"
Living Into Leadership demonstrates that ethics is something deeper than complying with the law. We need the law in order to keep us honest and provide a level playing field, but true ethics involves some sort of compassion. Ethics is not what we have to do, but rather what we can do." -- A. Eugene Kohn, Chairman * Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates *
"Experience is a great teacher but only when you are prepared to learn. Buzz McCoy provides lively preparation and insights into the arts of life and leadership. Read and learn." -- George P. Shultz * former U.S. Secretary of State and a Distinguished Fellow at the Hoover Institution *

Stanford Social Innovation Review"McCoy's forte for business managers should not be underestimated. He has done the deals and climbed to the very top of the corporate mountain. Voices such as his, especially ones that have done considerable soul searching over the years into the deeper aspects of business ethics, are rare." -- Thomas M. Donaldson, Mark O. Winkelman Professor * The Wharton School *
