Program Description
Avoiding the Slippery Slope: Establishing Ethical Guardrails
Ethical issues are not exclusive to large-scale organizations and do not become prominent only when scandals are exposed; ethical issues arise daily in every type of business condition where decisions are being made for and within organizations. Within an organizational culture, ethical awareness should lead to ethical judgment that drives ethical action.
In this ethics course, we explore the path to moral disengagement and ethical failure. We’ll discuss warning signs and how you can integrate ethical awareness into your culture. After completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Explain the 8 facets of moral disengagement, including how they are most likely to materialize in different industry sectors and organizational functions.
- Identify the key inflection points in organizational culture where ethical awareness should be integrated to influence day-to-day decision-making.
- Evaluate the formal and informal ethical systems within your organization.
- Recognize enablers and hindrances to ethical behavior at the strategic and operational levels of an organization.
- Assess your ethical leadership style.
