Walter Zettl's first book, Dressage in Harmony, was dedicated to the riding and training of horses and received wide acclaim. In this beautiful new book, Herr Zettl discusses those who have a critical influence on the welfare of horses and the future of the sport of dressage. That group includes the breeder, without whom we would not have horses; the owner and sponsor, who finance and sustain the horse; the rider, who signals to the horse through proper aids; the trainer and/or instructor, who guide the horse and rider into harmonic partnership; the stable manager and groom, who keep the horse happy, safe and secure; the show committee, which regulates the competitive side of the sport; and the judge, who must recognize and reward correct training.

Do ethics pay? In an attempt to answer this question, the authors analyze the economic theories that might rehabilitate ethics in the world of sales and turn them into an effective tool for conducting negotiations. This book proposes a “bottom-up” approach that starts from an analysis of sales activities to build a business style that, if adopted by an entire organization, can make the difference thus enhancing the company’s success. Italian culture provides a backdrop to the book; the authors reinterpret the particular nature of the country’s economic and social fabric and integrate this into an approach to business that can create authentic relationships, shared prosperity and quality of life across other cultures.
