How to Restore Civility in America

Sept. 21, 2009 - PRLog -- Author, Nitsa Lallas, in her new book Renewing Values in America, describes how a lack of regard for values has contributed to the lack of civility in our society today and how it also contributed to our current economic crisis. Her book offers a useful perspective on values like civility, integrity, accountability and respect, among others.

Renewing Values in America is a practical, yet simple approach to define values, talk about them and teach them to others -- including to children. In easy to understand language, Lallas helps people understand that "how you are matters", and how to use values to guide behavior. This book is a must read and especially relevant to people in leadership roles, teachers, parents, young adults and business leaders.

Looking back to the Founding Fathers of America for guidance about the kind of values needed to preserve our system of self government, Lallas objectively describes common sense values that are relevant today.

As a partner in a corporate culture-shaping firm, author Nitsa Lallas should know. Her 35 year career, more than a third of which has been focused on embedding values in large corporations, spans tumultuous times in American business. She translates this experience into meaningful lessons in her new book, and adds to it in discussions in her new blog http://www.howyouarematters.com with the intent of having a positive impact on our broader society.

While Americans are seeking leaders who live by values such as honesty, fairness, purposefulness and more, Lallas suggests that each of us can and must do the same, and provides an easy to understand approach for all.
