Today a general mood of pessimism surrounds Western efforts to strengthen elections and democracy abroad. If elections are often deeply flawed or even broken in many countries around the world, can anything be done to fix them? To counter the prevailing ethos, Pippa Norris presents new evidence for why programs of international electoral assistance work. She evaluates the effectiveness of several practical remedies, including efforts designed to reform electoral laws, strengthen women's representation, build effective electoral management bodies, promote balanced campaign communications, regulate political money, and improve voter registration. Pippa Norris argues that it would be a tragedy to undermine progress by withdrawing from international engagement. Instead, the international community needs to learn the lessons of what works best to strengthen electoral integrity, to focus activities and resources upon the most effective programs, and to innovate after a quarter century of efforts to strengthen electoral integrity.

American pastors, says Eugene Peterson, are abandoning their posts at an alarming rate. They are not leaving their churches and getting other jobs. Instead, they have become "a company of shopkeepers, and the shops they keep are churches." Pastors and the communities they serve have become preoccupied with image and standing, with administration, measurable success, sociological impact, and economic viability. In Working the Angles, Peterson calls the attention of his fellow pastors to three basic acts--which he sees as the three angles of a triangle--that are so critical to the pastoral ministry that they determine the shape of everything else. The acts--prayer, reading Scripture, and giving spiritual direction--are acts of attention to God in three different contexts: oneself, the community of faith, and another person. Only by being attentive to these three critical acts, says Peterson, can pastors fulfill their prime responsibility of keeping the religious community attentive to God. Written out of the author's own experience as pastor of a "single pastor church," this well-written, provocative book will be stimulating reading for lay Christians and pastors alike.

Integrity—more than simple honesty, it's the key to success. A person with integrity has the ability to pull everything together, to make it all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances. Drawing on experiences from his work, Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist, leadership coach, corporate consultant and nationally syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep us from achieving all we want to (or could) be. In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores the six qualities of character that define integrity, and how people with integrity: Are able to connect with others and build trust Are oriented toward reality Finish well Embrace the negative Are oriented toward increase Have an understanding of the transcendent Integrity is not something that you either have or don't, but instead is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in and enjoy.

Compliance is more than a word, but unfortunately, many companies don't understand it's importance until it is too late. Creating and developing a Compliance Program is going to cost you, but it is better to pay someone to build your program instead of paying penalties, losing your reputation and or your business. Integrity Matters: Be Your Word is NOT your typical stale and boring book about Compliance. It is a complete deconstruction of what Compliance is, how it works, what it does, what happens when it is well implemented and unfortunately, what happens when it is not well executed. The book is laden with real cautionary stories of companies that had to either pay back monies or pay hefty penalties and fines due to fraudulent activities, mismanagement of funds or did not know their industry's Compliance requirements. No matter the reason for the lack of compliance the costly consequences will be the same. Dr. Robyn S. Joppy has over 20-years of Compliance Expertise and by writing this book has made available all her knowledge (well, most of it) to companies and organizations just like yours. Why does she care? Dr. Joppy is passionate about Compliance because she does not want you to struggle with your Compliance Program or lack thereof like she has seen hundreds of companies do. One of the many misconceptions Dr. Joppy has seen people make over the years is assuming that only large organizations need to have a Compliance Program, this erroneous concept could not be farther from the truth. The book Integrity Matters: Be Your Word takes a deep dive into the many organizations and people that need and will significantly benefit from having a Compliance Program.Here's a sampling of the type of businesses and organizations that need a Compliance Program: large corporations, non-profit foundations, mid-size companies, one-person operations, churches or any other religious organizations will benefit GREATLY from reading this book. It is time you learn how to communicate the rules of the game to your people because as Dr. Joppy says: You have to tell people the rules so they can play the game, if and when the rules change, share that as well

Silicon Valley expert Robert Chesnut shows that companies that do not think seriously about a crucial element of corporate culture—integrity—are destined to fail. “Show of hands—who in this group has integrity?” It’s with this direct and often uncomfortable question that Robert Chesnut, General Counsel of Airbnb, begins every presentation to new employees. Defining integrity is difficult. Once understood as “telling the truth and keeping your word,” it was about following not just the letter but the spirit of the law. But in a moment when workplaces are becoming more diverse, global, and connected, silence about integrity creates ambiguities about right and wrong that make everyone uncertain, opening the door for the minority of people to rationalize selfish behavior. Trust in most traditional institutions is down—government, religious organizations, and higher education—and there’s a dark cloud hovering over technology. But this is precisely where companies come in; as peoples’ faith in establishments deteriorates, they’re turning to their employer for stability. In Intentional Integrity, Chesnut offers a six-step process for leaders to foster and manage a culture of integrity at work. He explains the rationale and legal context for the ethics and practices, and presents scenarios to illuminate the nuances of thinking deeply and objectively about workplace culture. We will always need governments to manage defense, infrastructure, and basic societal functions. But, Chesnut argues, the private sector has the responsibility to use sensitivity and flexibility to make broader progress—if they act with integrity.
