"Value Leadership is an insightful and inspiring book. It
recognizes that restoring trust in corporate America will take more
than legislation and compliance with regulations. It will demand a
fundamental re-examination of corporate values, cultures and
relationships. Cohan presents a cogent, practical model for this
process, which should interest investors, executives, board
directors, employees, policymakers and anyone who wants to see
business generate value for society, in a sustainable and ethical
way."
— W. Michael Hoffman, executive director, Center for Business
Ethics at Bentley College
"Value Leadership evolves Cohan's earlier paradigms into
seven extremely clear principles to he lp both graduate students
and managers in our executive education programs analyze companies
in today's hot fields like genomics, bio-informatics, and
photonics. I think his principles, cases, and tools will also be
quite useful for managers, venture capital investors, board
members, and others who have to assess and guide growth
businesses."
— Barry Unger, chairman, science and engineering program
division of extended education and faculty of photonic, Boston
University
"There are two things every executive should understand about
Value Leadership. First, the Value Quotient is a strategic
assessment and planning tool that is easy to understand, and put to
work. Second, it actually does work. Brilliantly."
— Michael Alan Hamlin, author, The New Asian Corporation and
CEO, TeamAsia
"It's so easy to commit conceptually to value leadership, but so
hard to implement that commitment in a sustained way and to achieve
best-in-class results. Cohan provides guidelines for a systematic
approach to both implementation and measurement of value leadership
derived from his in-depth studies of companies that demonstrate
sustained value leadership. The world needs more value leaders.
Peter Cohan can help."
— Mark P. Rice, Murata Dean, F.W. Olin Graduate School of
Business, Babson College
"Value Leadership is an extremely important book because
it lays out a clear and navigable road map for companies to restore
trust with customers, employees and investors. It thoroughly
integrates uplifting principles with a thoughtful measurement
approach to ensure outstanding results, providing a healthy
antidote to the cynicism that has grown so pervasively...I
recommend this book strongly to boards and management teams, who
are almost universally dealing with these issues."
— Bill Kelvie, CEO, Overture Technologies
"Peter Cohan takes us back to the future with laser-like focus
through the prism of value (based) leadership. Cohan appeals
powerfully to our natural instincts to "do the right thing", and
reminds us that honesty, integrity, and character in their full
splendor are the truly enduring elements of successful American
capitalism—and, as important and measurable as profits and
growth.
Value Leadership is a much-needed prescription at a unique
time in American business, and stands apart from its genre by
reminding us of the traits that make the pursuit of profits a noble
cause".
