Comments: This new volume takes the next major step in developing a comprehensive approach to public administration ethics. It goes well beyond previous treatments of ethical theories, the process of resolving ethical decisions, and the threat of organizations to professional integrity. This book advances the frontiers of our thinking by focusing specifically and clearly on the role of the public manager in achieving and maintaining ethical organizations. Don Menzel leads the reader through the process of managing the ethical environment of an organization in order to cultivate and sustain integrity. He effectively illustrates his thinking with case studies of cities and counties in which ethics management is being taken seriously. -- Terry L. Cooper, University of Southern California

In an engaging manner, Don Menzel demonstrates why the building of ethical organizations is essential. After carefully assessing the management tools needed to achieve that end, the book examines current ethical practices at all levels of government. The analysis is enriched with real-world examples and skill building exercises. The work closes with a discussion of the challenges that confront ethical governance in the years ahead. Highly recommended. -- James S. Bowman, Florida State University; Editor, Public Integrity

In Ethics Management for Public Administrators, Don Menzel shares expertise developed by over two decades of observation, research, and promotion of ethical standards for public administrators. The material presented can be used in the classroom and city hall alike as we seek to restore trust in government through the promotion of ethical practices. -- Ed Daley, City Manager, Winchester, VA

Don Menzel is a leader at the frontier of public sector ethics research. His accessible book explores the challenges of cultivating organizations of integrity. He effectively draws on the best available scholarship, offers perceptive legal and historical analysis, assesses tools for ethics managers, provides thought-provoking case studies, and develops practical skill-building exercises to examine ethical governance at the local, state, national and international levels. It is an ideal choice for classroom use. -- Jonathan P. West, University of Miami

The tone for Donald C. Menzel’s Ethics Management for Public Administrators is set when the author tells us he “began writing this book almost twenty years ago, not literally, but figuratively . . .” (p. xi). What follows is clearly a book that comes from the heart, an effort to synthesize years of knowledge and experience into a worthwhile and manageable whole for the benefit of academics, practitioners, and students alike. -- Russell L Williams, Tallahassee
