David Maister, the world's premier consultant to professional service firms, vigorously challenges professionals to examine this essential, yet under-addressed What is true professionalism?Professional firms are forever trying to get their people to act like professionals—to do the right things. Though their various incentives may create employee compliance, these don't often encourage excellence.

In clear and compelling terms, Maister shows that this approach is not only ethical but also conducive to commercial success.
