We all know that a discussion about “ethics” in general addresses right and wrong behavior, sometimes abstractly philosophical and sometimes brought to earth by practical experiences. In real life, it isn’t always easy to decide between only two answers: right or wrong, yes or no. Most issues are multifaceted, and the best decisions must address multiple aspects simultaneously.
An understanding of “ethics” and “guidelines” and “standards of care” steers us when we confront difficult decisions both in our private lives and our business lives. This program includes several real life examples where choices were not easy and others in which they should have been – but weren’t.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between “lawful” and “ethical”
