In today’s fast-paced environment, we are constantly encountering ethical issues and dilemmas. We are frequently faced with situations containing competing pressures – timely vs. accurate, legal vs. moral, short-term vs long-term. It’s not only what we do that matters but how we do it, which is just as important. Learn to think about ethics from a pro-active perspective to avoid becoming tomorrow’s ethical failure. Using current case studies, we will identify the ethical issues, develop alternate courses of action, and consider potential consequences of those actions. And we will discuss ways to build your moral courage to stand up to the pressures.
