After years of emphasizing harshly competitive practices, some companies are finding that — a kinder, gentler workplace benefits the bottom line. Slogans such as “greed is good” and books like The Art of War were prevalent in the corporate world of the 1980s and 1990s. In the new millennium, however, many of the corporate success stories are related to the creation of workplaces that are open and friendly. When the bosses are tyrannical and the employees are afraid to speak up, it’s a recipe for disasters, such as the ones that happened at corporate- scandal-ridden Enron and Tyco in 2001 and 2002. On the other hand, when people feel free to speak their minds, it allows more creativity and productivity to emerge. Employees feel they are part of a team and want to contribute. It is no accident that companies that have an excellent reputation for service, such as Starbucks and Zappos, also foster dignity and respect in the workplace.

Both were Southern Democrats. Both were impeached. Yet these superficial similarities in the careers of the two men mask dramatic differences between them. When Andrew Johnson fired Secretary of War Stanton, he was charged with violating the Tenure of Office Act, a law that probably was unconstitutional. His impeachment took place against the backdrop of a national debate over the course of post-Civil War Reconstruction, a debate that was intensely ideological. In contrast, Bill Clinton was charged with lying and obstructing justice, charges that stemmed from an extramarital affair the president had conducted with a young White House intern, Monica Lewinsky. Clinton’s impeachment reflected the bitter partisanship and personal animosity between Democrats and Republicans in the 1990s.
