While ethical concerns may be among the most common problems public administrators face, there are few modern resources that one can turn to for guidance on thorny issues. Presenting typical scenarios faced by those holding the public trust, this work considers both personal and organizational issues of integrity. A collection of succinctly written real-world cases presented by senior public administrators provides readers with approaches that not only slice through the problem but can result in career advancement. Additionally, the book examines ways to build an ethical organization.
