Bowen H. "Buzz" McCoy
ULI Life Trustee

Over the past few years, the business world has been wracked by corporate scandals. With news of a new scandal an almost weekly occurrence, one cannot help but wonder: "Is business success synonymous with a lack of morality?" With a resounding "no," Bowen H. "Buzz" McCoy, former partner at Morgan Stanley, shows that ethical business leadership is possible and, moreover, desirable. Seeking inspiration from an eclectic range of sources, such as Dante, Kant, and Peter Drucker, and drawing from his own career as a successful investment banker, the author examines how business leaders-and those who aspire to be business leaders-can flourish in a corporate environment without shedding personal values or compromising integrity. Living Into Leadership: A Journey in Ethics is based on the author's actual life experiences, personal ethical dilemmas, and concerns. This groundbreaking work incorporates classroom materials developed by the author for ethics programs at various business schools, including Stanford, UC Berkeley, the University of Southern California, UCLA, and Notre Dame. The central question this book considers is how to pursue an engaged business career while living a balanced life and continuing to grow as an integrated person.

As one of the first industry leaders to emphasize ethics in real estate and to bring women on his team, Buzz McCoy is a true pioneer. National Real Estate Investor magazine has named him one of the "real estate icons" of the 20th Century for his ground-breaking work linking real estate financing to capital markets.

A panel of leading experts will respond to Mr. McCoy's findings and offer their own perspective on these topics.
