Ethics in Decision Making
Ethical reasoning can be focused on answering two kinds of questions:
1) Definitive questions (defining the facts relevant to the question);
2) Reasoned judgment (somewhat intuitive).
4 Questions to Focus on When You Have to Make an Ethical Decision:
1) What are the other competing, interpretations of the situation or problem?
2) What is the cash value of the situation or problem?
3) By reviewing your vision, values, and mission statements and company policies, is how you handle the situation clear?
4) As the individual who needs to make the ethical decision, are you committed to doing the right thing?
