With revenues falling, unemployment rising and pressure on increasing the bottom line ever-present, leaders are under greater pressure than ever to get results. From Madoff and the Ponzi schemes to massive bank bailouts followed by huge executive bonuses, business leaders have lost sight of their values in favor of the bottom line.

As in his new book, Be Great: The Five Foundations of an Extraordinary Life in Business - and Beyond, Thomas will share his business experiences and lessons learned to illustrate what it means to be successful in business without compromising your values.
