This book is dedicated to—

1. The three greatest men in my life: Hans Wessel, my father; Lou DeMars, my husband; and Judd Ringer, my first boss. These men of honor, far ahead of their times, proved to me it’s always good business to take the ethical high road.

2. All of you who so candidly shared with me your stories and insights. I’m so proud of your quest to do the right thing without losing your jobs.

3. And especially the administrative professionals throughout the world who are too often caught in the ethical crossfire of business activities. You are all my everyday heroes.
