Ethics In Service (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163079904)

Ethics In Service is a book written by William H. Taft, which explores the importance of ethics in public service. The author, who was the 27th President of the United States and later served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, draws from his own experiences to provide insight into the challenges faced by those in positions of power.The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of ethics in service. The first part discusses the importance of integrity, honesty, and accountability in public service. Taft argues that these qualities are essential for building trust with the public and maintaining the legitimacy of government institutions.The second part of the book explores the role of ethics in decision-making. Taft emphasizes the need for public officials to consider the long-term consequences of their actions and to prioritize the common good over personal or political gain.Finally, the third part of the book examines the challenges of ethical leadership. Taft discusses the importance of setting a positive example for others and the need to balance competing interests and values.Overall, Ethics In Service is a thought-provoking and insightful book that offers practical advice for those in public service. Taft's emphasis on the importance of ethics and integrity is as relevant today as it was when the book was first published in 1930.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
