"It's About Excellence makes the case ---and provides the tools---for a veritable 'wiki-ethics' built and owned by the people throughout the organization. Ethically healthy companies embrace transparency and experience the success created by high trust."
-Don Tapscott, co-author, The Naked Corporation: How the Age of Transparency Will
Revolutionize Business (2003).
"Our company incorporated the ideas and concepts put forth in David Gill's It's About Excellence with resounding success as measured by the acceptance and enthusiasm of our employees. Now we have a moral and ethical guide for our company going forward that really describes our "heart and soul" to our employees and clients. It makes good business sense to me."
- Carl Harris, Founder & Chairman, Harris & Associates, Concord, CA
"An ethics text that is readable, practical, and still based on solid ethical theory! David Gill's book will be of value to anyone who has to run an organization, for profit or otherwise."
-Lisa Newton, Professor & Director, Program in Applied Ethics, Fairfield University
