When I think of ethics, I think of rules to follow in order to maintain professionalism for the company you are working for. Also, some call them the code of conduct. These rules were created for us to follow, which are a reflection of the representation you present while working there. Maintaining good behavior of some sort and not invading the privacy of your fellow coworkers always works, when dealing with ethics. Ethics affect every facet of life, especially in the professional world. When a decision is to be made within a world, the ethical decision is typically that which benefits the most or harms the least.
Most of the people believe that they are ethical and unbiased. They imagine they’re good decision-makers, able to objectively size up a job candidate or a venture deal and reach a fair and rational conclusion that’s in their, and their organization’s, best interests. We need to understand that leadership role are often wide in scope and not easily definable. As a leader, one is expected to make a personal sacrifice for the betterment of the group. Think about why you believe in your values. It is important to understand the origin of your values and belief systems because they can make up who you are.
For the IT and HPT fields to succeed and grow we need to understand the perspective of those interested in learning about the field and those who are already in the field. Together we can make great decisions if we are unbiased and simply observe and listen.
