As has been the case with František Hroník many times before, I was astonished. I was astonished by the view from above with which the issue of integrity can be understood. How contemporary integrity is. The way in which integrity is connected to other “managerial terms”, such as performance, motivation, corporate culture. None of the chapters were simply dry theoretical views. Instead they were captivating reading, illustrated by up-to-date, “in” examples from the world today, from contemporary life, reading in which the author brings together that which would seem incompatible in a very compact whole. Ondřej Slabý, HR Director at Coca-Cola HBC
I would recommend the book to all those who believe that work is not just a duty, that trust accelerates relations and that values are the foundation of a company.

The book is especially useful for top managers who wish to motivate their employees with well-selected statements requiring not only their brains but also emotions, heart and empathy.
