《It's About Excellence》重新界定了企業倫理在組織中的角色，明確指出倫理不只是「避免違法」或「降低風險」的工具，而是追求卓越與長期成功的核心動力。作者 David W. Gill 結合多年企業顧問與倫理教學經驗，指出若倫理僅由法務或合規部門主導，往往流於事後補救，反而錯失建立高信任文化的關鍵契機。本書主張，真正健康的組織倫理應由全體成員共同形塑與實踐，透過清楚而具啟發性的使命與願景，將價值觀深植於企業文化與日常決策之中。倫理不再是外加規範，而是一種內建於組織運作的行動準則，引導企業在競爭中做出更好的選擇。文字風格清楚務實，理論基礎紮實，並提供可操作的方法與案例，適合企業領導者、管理者，以及關心組織文化與永續經營的讀者閱讀，是一本兼顧理念與實務的企業倫理入門與進階讀物。It's About Excellence: Building Ethically Healthy Organizations For too many businesses and their leaders today, business ethics is just about staying out of jail.

Of course companies need a damage control, crisis management, trouble-shooting component in their ethics and management toolbox. But if that's all there is, something of critical business value is missin

It isn’t that Abby Carson can’t do her schoolwork. She just doesn’t like doing it. And consequently, Abby will have to repeat sixth grade—unless she meets some specific conditions, including taking on an extra credit project: find a pen pal in a distant country. But when Abby’s first letter arrives at a small school in Afghanistan, complications arise. The elders agree that any letters going back to America must be written well, but the only qualified English-speaking student is a boy. And in this village, it’s not proper for a boy to correspond with a girl. So, Sadeed’s sister will dictate and sign the letters for him. But what about the villagers who believe that girls should not be anywhere near a school? And what about those who believe that any contact with Americans is...unhealthy?As letters flow back and forth—between the prairies of Illinois and the mountains of central Asia, across cultural and religious divides, through the minefields of different lifestyles and traditions—a
