Behaving Badly: Ethical Lessons from Enron puts the reader in the shoes of Enron executives through the journey of the once prominent and now infamous company. Enron began as a newly merged firm in 1985 with too much debt, rose on Wall Street during the 1990s, and collapsed in December 2001. This is the first book to treat Enron's financial problems as complex ethical issues managers may face daily - often without recognizing them as such. Key decisions are presented in real-time from several perspectives, including those of Lay, Skilling, Fastow, board members, auditors, lawyers, and investment bankers. The seemingly simple question readers are asked to consider is: What would you have done, had you been employed by, or doing business with, Enron? Readers can debate their answers with colleagues. Award winning business ethics professor Denis Collins also provides advice on creating and sustaining an ethical culture in any company, offering a decision-making tool and framework that managers can use to intentionally steer their company away from the road Enron traveled.

By the way, I didn't threaten anybody.
Abathar, I think you are right as I've linked further down the thread. Not sure if this is the same guy who wrote the book at the top of my thread -- it's unclear in Amazon.
Was Libby actually on trial and convicted for a real reason? This is scary stuff and the dimwits better pay attention. These are the kind of people they want to be in charge; but guess what they will eventually do the same thing to you. No one escapes. You think you are safe; but you aren't.
What are the chances that Collins, with WaPo credentials, had previous contact with Libby's office? Bears investigation.
There are at least 4 "Denis Collins" that are authors. it seems, including a Frenchman writing a book about Marx!
The bio listing the Wisconsin prof at the college lists Behaving Badly as his, but does not mention the Spy book. Probably different people?
I'm one guilty of confusing the two. I apologize.
I agree with you, but didn't Libby's lawyers have the chance to get this guy booted during jury selection?
Will the REAL Denis Collins please stand up and end this confusion! ;-)
I'm still trying to figure this out this myself. If Libby's representation was so good, how could a WaPo columnist be allowed on the jury? I know it's DC and the jury pool is limited because the population is so weighed down by felons but I would have asked to get this guy off first.
How did he get on the jury in the first place? Unbelievable.
I'll confess to being confused as to which of these books belongs to this juror -- I think the Spy Book and not the Enron book -- but watching that Fox News interview (I posted the link up in the thread), I was struck by how this guy was so happy to talk about the process the jury went through -- meticulously using Post-It Notes for all the different things Libby apparently said to different journalists, etc., and the jury coming to the conclusion that he lied to the Grand Jury and Investigators and was guilty on 4 of the 5 counts. What I didn't see in that narration was did the jury pursue Post-It Note corroboration of all of the mis-remembering by all of the witnesses and journalists... Did you pursue that, you WaPo-loser "journalist"?
