EP133 Ethics at Work - Overcoming Ethical Traps

Relatable Leader

Ethical traps are the justifications we create when we want to take action outside of our typical ethical code of conduct. Listen to this episode and learn about 1) False Necessity 2) Doctrine of Relative Filth 3) Rationalization and 4) Ends-Justifies-the-Means. I also share 10 questions you can ask yourself when faced with an ethical dilemma.

Most employees think of themselves as ethical people, but many have faced ethical dilemmas and took action we might not be proud of. This episode addresses the stories we might tell ourselves in challenging situations. BTW, broken the speed limit lately?

My focus is training supervisors and managers, or front line employees who have the goal to promote to leadership some day. The time to start behaving like a leader is before you fill a leadership position. The information, tools, and resources shared in this podcast are designed to help you reach your highest potential in your career. I taught college level Business Communication and Employee Readiness courses for 15 years. Employees and students tell me my courses change their lives for the better, and my evaluations consistently rate me as an engaged and motivational speaker. I decided to produce a podcast in the effort to support a broader audience of people in higher levels of job satisfaction and productivity, as well as encourage people to find jobs for which they are a good fit.

Please and Thank you for *RATE & REVIEW* on iTunes, Stitcher, and iHeart Radio – your review might inspire someone else to listen and receive the assist they need to be more successful in their job!

If you know anyone getting ready to start college, or even at a crossroads in life trying to put things back together in a positive way, I encourage you to give them my book, From Average Student to Academic Rock Star! This is my foundational college orientation available on Amazon in paperback. Set up like a workbook with action steps, this information has helped thousands of people get their goals on track. Some readers are purchasing it as a gift, and then deciding to keep it for themselves because of the life lessons addressed in the book. Check it out on Amazon!

From Average Student to Academic Rock Star!
