Synopsis
The Purpose-Driven Leader: Navigating Ethical Challenges in a Goal-Obsessed World
In a world where targets rule and success is measured in metrics, what happens when good intentions lead to ethical disasters? Leaders chase promotions, quotas, and wins—only to wake up to scandals, burnt-out teams, and shattered trust. This is teleopathy: the dangerous obsession with goals that blinds us to what's right.
Retired Chief Master Sergeant Mike Lightner knows this trap intimately. With over 30 years in the Air Force leading high-stakes teams on flightlines and beyond, plus decades coaching executives, he's seen policies meant to motivate turn into chaos and incentives designed to inspire lead to corner-cutting. In The Purpose-Driven Leader, Lightner delivers a no-BS guide to spotting teleopathy's symptoms—fixation, rationalization, and detachment—and breaking free with purpose-driven integrity.
Drawing from real military turnarounds, corporate scandals like Enron and Volkswagen, and everyday ethical dilemmas, this book equips you with:
- Battle-tested frameworks to balance goals with values and stakeholder needs.
- Practical tools like decision checklists, ethics charters, and reflective exercises to make integrity your default.
- Inspiring stories of leaders who chose ethics over easy wins—and came out stronger.
Don't let ambition destroy what matters. Grab The Purpose-Driven Leader and build a legacy of trust, not regret.
"In a polarized world, it is not narrow ideological thinking that is needed, but instead comprehensive moral thinking. The Purpose-Driven Leader: Navigating Ethical Challenges in a Goal-Obsessed World is a refreshing example of just the kind of thinking we need."
-- Kenneth E. Goodpaster, Professor Emeritus
University of St. Thomas, Minnesota
