When we look for scapegoats rather take responsibility. Is the leader ready, then, to accept the implications of each option? Is there a consequence for each choice? There always is. The real compromise happens when the needs of individuals take precedence over money, or when relationships are more important than the sale. Odds are that might not be the right thing to do. the sale over values when ‘push comes to shove’ – The negative might be that one would choose money, i.e. To advertise and promote them, and then fail to reflect those values in your behaviour, causes mistrust in business relationships.įor what do you compromise your values? This question is answered either positively or negatively. All companies have values that leaders embrace and publicise. What you do is so much important that what you say. People listen with their eyes, not their ears. When what you do is inconsistent with what you preach. To look for insights as a leader is an example of thoughtful, positive self-esteem. This approach is dangerous, so leaders should leave their ego at the door. One becomes a one person ‘show’, believing that one possesses all that one needs to know to make the best possible decision on any issue. This is when a leader’s ego (not self-esteem) dictates what to do without being open to other options, opinions, and so forth. Research points out that six moral clues point to warning signs.

There seems to be a lack of moral courage, moral leadership and moral accountability in today’s business world. Leaders need to focus on having a moral compass.

Ethics is obedience to the unenforceable. Therefore, compliance is playing by enforceable rules. One takes personal responsibility for one’s choices. What this means is that to be complaint is to do what the law says to do. So, which comes first, the spirit of the law or the letter of the law?Ĭompliance is a reactive process and ethics is only a proactive process. They are different although relatable – but not interchangeable. Compliance is the letter of the law and ethics is the spirit of the law. 21.Leaders need to understand, first, that compliance and ethics are not the same.
