Document Summary
Courage is needed for practicing ethical behaviour. Mangers set the ethical tone for the organization: signal what matters through their behaviour. What managers do to make things go wrong: Some executives are preoccupied with their own importance: focus on having a huge salary, office, and other symbols of status rather than on what is good for the organization. Unethical managers frequently treat people unfairly: managers make things go wrong when they treat people inequitably. Unethical managers focus on their own needs and goal: take all the credit for successes but blame others when things go wrong. Unethical managers fail to speak up against acts they believe are wrong: ma(cid:374)age(cid:396)s (cid:449)ho hold thei(cid:396) to(cid:374)gue to (cid:862)fit i(cid:374)(cid:863) Ethical managers make a conscious and visible commitment to ethics: managers must commit to ethics though talk and behaviour to set an example for others. Ethical managers build an environment that encourages others to behave themselves: mangers create systems to support ethical behaviour.
