ALPHARETTA, GA, UNITED STATES, June 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Alpharetta, Georgia – Skyward Imprint is proud to announce the forthcoming publication of Virtuous Business: A Model Approach: Ethics, Essays, and Exemplars, a transformative new book co-authored by Drs.

Key topics include virtuous leadership, organizational virtuousness, cultivating ethical cultures, balancing multiple forms of capital (economic, social, and spiritual), and applying the model across industries.
