“This powerful book reminds current and future leaders that the ethical option—not profit—should be the first and primary consideration. To have a brighter future for our society and posterity, leaders in the business community must redevelop their conscience, lead with a strong understanding of morality, and acknowledge the impacts their decisions have on society. Andrew’s work helps fly us to a future we can all be proud of.”
—Dr. James Stephenson, Aviation Research Scientist and STEM Educator

"Whether you are a c-suite executive, non-profit leader, entrepreneur, or a concerned citizen, The Ethical Imperative is a must-read if you care about centering the lived experiences of those around you. Told in a unique, compelling, and thought-provoking manner, Andrew Cooper harnesses his corporate leadership and homespun wisdom to practical tools that will enhance readers' ability to make wise, people-centered decisions." 
—Richard Fowler, Fox News Contributor 

"Andrew Cooper has given us a view into what will be required of effective leaders that are committed to authentic servant leadership and concern for the teams they lead. The conscientious leader must be guided by clear and unwavering goals and objectives. Andrew has shown us a correct model of what tomorrow's successful leaders must bring to their duties in order to be an inspirational leader that not only gets maximum effort from the teams they lead, but to give maximum effort in leading their team."
—Honorable Jon Gray, Retired Judge, 16th Judicial Circuit of Missouri

 “The Ethical Imperative is a must-read for any individual who yearns to make this world a better place for everyone. Andrew’s call for the development of conscientious leaders who have the courage to focus on positions that are morally right and not simply profit-driven is exactly what we need as we move into the future."
—John Murphy, Former Chair of Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP

“Increasingly, younger generations condemn corporations when they speak of them at all. Andy speaks to these generations, but even more powerfully to today’s business leaders. The Ethical Imperative introduces ‘the conscientious executive,’ the leader who stewards her community and its dreams while minding her company’s bottom line. There is no preaching here—only stories, good ones. When business can answer accusations of ‘greed’ with a track record of compassion, we will have gotten somewhere."
—Bill Sampson, Author of Wheat Fields
