Praise for The New Psychology of Leadership:
"This exciting book ... argues that leadership is not about mastering the 10 or 20 decisive traits that drive change and success, but about "the followers" – about engaging them to work with the leader to develop the organisation’s goals and aspirations. … What I like about this book, and why I will recommend it to anyone interested in leadership, is how the science of leadership is mingled in a readable way with historical and modern-day examples. It is a must-read for those seeking a different approach to the "five ways to success as a leader" type of book." - Cary L. Cooper, Distinguished Professor of Organisational Psychology and Health, Lancaster University Management School, UK, in the Times Higher Education

Behavioral Business Ethics: Shaping an Emerging Field
This book looks at how and why individuals display unethical behavior.
It emphasizes the actual behavior of individuals rather than specific business practices.
It draws from work on psychology; as Max Bazerman said, "efforts to improve ethical decision making are better aimed at understanding our psychological tendencies".
