Summary
Making ethical decisions in an unethical world
The decisions we make are becoming more complex as there are multiple trade-offs to consider.
The facts and details are often blurred and the expectation of fast decision making often drives us to find short-cuts – all of which may lead to less than optimum choices.
Added to the contextual influences, we may have different ethical decision-making styles that, left unchallenged, may prevent us from considering the full picture.
Yet, a better understanding of these styles also allows us to consider others’ perspectives.
So how do we make decisions we can feel comfortable with and proud of?
Let’s come together to explore an ethical decision-making process to enable us to make better decisions.
