A detailed and inspiring strategy for staying true to yourself at work while contributing to your organization's effectiveness and integrity . Based on over fifty candid interviews with businesspeople at all levels, including vivid firsthand accounts of compromise and courage . Eminently practical and constructive, with exercises and strategies you can apply wherever you work Healthy compromise is a fact of organizational life, part of accomplishing any meaningful goal with other people. But when it involves betraying your word, your principles, or other important commitments, it takes a bite out of your passion and vitality, trapping you in a web of nagging doubts and regrets or even dread and remorse. Sadly, certain common misconceptions about compromise mean we can fall into this trap unknowingly, making a sort of "devil's bargain by degrees." Even worse, this can happen while working for companies and leaders we otherwise respect and admire. So what can you do, short of sacrificing your career? In this unflinching but consistently constructive and timely look at concessions, double-binds, and contradictions of organizational life, Doty suggests the antidote is to "redefine the game" - expand your ability to be a positive force regardless of the setting. At the core of this strategy are six personal foundations that she illuminates with practical exercises and examples, including Reconnect to Your Strengths, See the Larger Playing Field, Define a Worthy Enough Win, Find Your Real Team, Make Positive Plays, and Keep Your Own Score. Full of candid firsthand stories from Doty's interviews with over fifty businesspeople as well as her own experiences as a consultant and manager, The Compromise Trap offers sympathetic guidance for individuals striving to live with greater integrity, courage, and purpose at work, as well as the executives, coaches, consultants, and loved ones who support them and senior leaders who want to expand what it means for organizations to act with integrity in the world.

The Compromise Trap will confirm the experience of all who work in systems. It is insightful and well written and aims us in the right direction.
Peter Block, author of Stewardship and The Answer to How Is Yes
Human nature has a strong compassionate, cooperative base that needs to be rediscovered. Elizabeth Doty s systemic and realistic approach provides guidance on how we can make the world a better place for everyone, not just for ourselves.
Napier Collyns, cofounder, Global Business Network
The Compromise Trap is thoughtful, pragmatic, and provocative and a pleasure to read.
Joseph L. Badaracco Jr., John Shad Professor of Business Ethics, Harvard Business School
Elizabeth Doty has brought greater depth of understanding to one of the major dilemmas of organizational life: what causes people to do what they believe is not right? I hope this book encourages everyone to avoid the compromise trap and provides leaders with insight that will help them create healthy organizations where people and the business thrive.
Nancy Southern, Chair, Organizational Systems Program, Saybrook Graduate School
The Compromise Trap clearly and directly addresses an essential principle for navigating toward a more sustainable economy acting from the center. Without acting from what is true for each of us, our collective actions may not realize our intentions, which is a great risk indeed.
Stacey Smith, Managing Director, Advisory Services, BSR
An engaging and easy-to-understand analysis of the traps we weave at work and, frankly, in our daily lives. This book is relevant to anyone looking to redefine the game. With the ethics breakdowns in business over the past decade, it is a must-read for every business school student and businessperson up to and including the C-suite and the board.
Steven F. McCann, retired Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Longs Drugs Stores
The Compromise Trap reveals the pandemic of incremental soul- selling in the workplace, as people compromise bit by bit until one day they wake up in disbelief at the full cost. Read this book and liberate yourself and your colleagues from the indentured spiritual servitude that sometimes seems required to earn a living. A how-to on the emancipation of the soul at work.
John Renesch, businessman-turned-futurist, senior executive adviser, and author of Getting to the Better Future
I agree with Doty: you cannot outsource your integrity to your leader. The Compromise Trap is an important book, not only for our corporate lives, but also for our health and wholeness as a society.
Roger Saillant, former senior executive, Ford Motor Company
Elizabeth Doty has touched on one of the often-secret dilemmas of organizational life: how to stay true to your deeper knowing as you navigate the delicate terrain of organizational politics, ethical forks in the road, personal well-being, and competing loyalties. Her pioneering illumination of practical steps we can take, both individually and collectively, to embrace the higher possibilities inherent in even the most difficult situations is a great contribution to organizational leaders and members everywhere. Brava!
Juanita Brown and David Isaacs, cofounders, The World Café, and coauthors of The World Café: Shaping Our Futures Through Conversations That Matter
Stephen Covey once told me, Integrity is the value you place on your relationship with yourself. The Compromise Trap addresses how to deal with the small temptations that chip away at that value and shows us how to protect the integrity and purpose in our lives. The Compromise Trap is absorbing and entertaining, but, most important, it s a book
for our times.
Mike Harvey, Change Facilitator, Dow Chemical Company
Doty explores the tangles of thought, feeling, loyalty, and pain that we all carry in our hearts. How do I rationalize my values with those of my organization? What do I do when they are in conflict? Can I fully participate in the moves of the organization while still honoring my deepest values? This book offers us a way to think about that trap and six valuable tools for setting our own path, shedding light on a powerful hidden force that slows much of our individual and shared success.
