The field that provides this kind of know-how is called ethics. This means that ethics is serious business. Ethical dilemmas are at least as hard to resolve as engineering problems, and at least as urgent, particularly in our complex and fast-moving world. They require careful analysis, not gut feeling or simplistic platitudes.
Steven Mintz: Ethical leaders create a culture in the workplace that promotes moral values and establishes an ethical tone at the top. Creating an ethical culture means setting a standard that decisions are made and actions are taken that are right, not wrong; good, not bad; and they benefit the stakeholders of the organization.
Ethical corners were cut. If the greater good couldn’t be quantified in a costbenefitanalysis, it wasn’t important. Hang onto generosity, reciprocity, and ethical commitments. ? “Cash is kind” was the CFO’s favorite go-to line when vetoing spending requests. The CEO always agreed. Legal lines were crossed.
T HERE ARE PROBLEMS that can be solved by a simple cost-benefitanalysis. The big decisions in life, what Russ Roberts calls Wild Problems — whether to marry, who to marry, what career path to follow, ethical dilemmas — “can’t be made with data, or science, or the usual rational approaches.”.
Present a realistic cost-benefitanalysis of your ideas--don't just sell benefits. Challenge up on issues involving ethics or integrity--never remain silent on ethics violations. People become more annoyed with you for having to be 'right' on trivia than your need to be right on important business points.
4) Present a realistic cost-benefitanalysis of your ideas–don’t just sell benefits. Be prepared to have a realistic discussion of the costs of your idea. 5) Challenge up on issues involving ethics or integrity–never remain silent on ethics violations.
Present a realistic “cost-benefit” analysis of your ideas – don’t just sell benefits. You can acknowledge the sacrifice that someone else may have to make and point out how the benefits of your plan may outweigh the costs. You are paid to do what makes a difference and to win on important issues.
On that score, the company’s Code of Ethics claimed that “gaming” (the manipulation and / or misrepresentation of sales or referrals) was against the rules and grounds for dismissal. We try to help leaders make a very rational cost/benefitanalysis about what clinging to the raft is costing them.
Moreover, ethical followers can help leaders avoid making questionable decisions and high performing followers often motivate leaders to raise their own levels of performance. Trust is a common factor in the cost-benefitsanalysis, compliance with authority, or loyalty to leaders hypotheses.
