Loved this, Sally. I'm reading Jeffrey Pfeffer's Leadership B.S. right now - and several years ago found "The No Asshole Rule" by Robert Sutton helpful (gave a copy to my CEO, who had hired a toxic CHRO).
Kudos to Sally for addressing a major hiring and retention problem. I recommend additional reading of Leadership and Self-Deception by the Arbinger Institute and Frederick Herzberg's work on motivation. Book summaries are posted on www.learningomnivores.com
