Making Ethics Work

Cases in Ethical Decision Making

No matter how rotten your boss, the environment or the situation you find yourself in, ultimately you must make the decision about what you will do when confronted with an ethical dilemma. What is the best way to determine the most ethical course of action? Which side in the dilemma has a higher claim to “rightness?”

This seminar provides tools, tips and templates to answer these questions.
