Book Description
Yeah...it's true. It's pretty darned hard to be a principled conservative in today's corporate world. In fact, it more or less can get you fired. In nearly 20 years seeking the "perfect-storm" of merit, principle, dedication, faith, fact, truth, right-is-good-and-wrong-is-just-wrong governed by general honesty in the modern day Corporate America I am sorry to break it to you; it just doesn't exist. This book will chronicle real events that have happened in Corporate America; the good, the bad, the downright shocking and frankly the very frightening state of affairs of what the "Everybody-Gets-A-Ribbon" liberal movement and the Political Correctness nonsense have done to business. If you wanted to get work done, promote someone, fire someone, move someone, pray for someone, expose someone and generally cut through the office political goo in the Corporate environment consider yourself forewarned that the rules of the game have changed.dramatically. Kathleen Kelly is a 20-year veteran of the corporate circus holding down very senior and not-so-senior roles at some of the nation's biggest companies (and some of the smallest, never-heard-of, probably-out-of-business-by-now companies too). Born and raised on the east coast, Kelly spends much of her time ducking "emotional, feel-good grenades" hurled by liberal counterparts and spends free time "building consensus" in target practice at the gun range by working on her groupings. She is proud of her plebian "State University Degree" and has sworn to never utter "B-school" in conversation again. The self-described "political freak" and her equally armed spouse live in a great city in the greatest country in the world raising two future "Evil Republicans" who will no doubt skip the corporate circus and follow their parents into Entrepreneurship. In her spare time Kelly is a busy writer, political mouthpiece, and speeding-ticket-collector along with cooking up some legendary desserts.

Book Description
In The Diplomat in the Corner Office, Timothy L. Fort, one of the founders of the business and peace movement, reflects on the progress of the movement over the past 15 years—from a niche position into a mainstream economic and international relations perspective. In the 21st century global business environment, says Fort, businesses can and should play a central role in peace-building, and he demonstrates that it is to companies' strategic advantage to do so. Anchoring his arguments in theories from economics and international relations, Fort makes the case that businesses must augment familiar notions of corporate responsibility and ethical behavior with the concept of corporate foreign policy in order to thrive in today's world. He presents a series of case studies focusing on companies that have made peace a goal, either as an end in itself or because of its instrumental value in building their companies, to articulate three different approaches that businesses can use to quell international conflict— peace making, peace keeping, and peace building. He then demonstrates their effectiveness and proposes policies that can be utilized by business, civil society, and government to increase the likelihood of business playing a constructive role in the conciliatory process. This book will be of enormous use not only to students and scholars but also to leaders in NGOs, government, and business.
