IMC Oregon SW Washington Chapter Ethical Decision Making: Why Should You Care? Eugene J. Wallace, CMC, Excell Oregon & Family Business Advisers Kenton R. Hill, CMC, KRH Consulting M. Lynn Spruill, Family Business Advisers
What are Ethics and Why Should You Care? What
are ethics? Ethics are the standards of
conduct that provide basic principles used to determine if an action is
"right", "fair" or "just." Ethics are norms that
an individual, community, group, or profession defines and institutionalizes to
assist in making decisions. So
what? As a professional service provider or business
leader, why should we care about ethics? Why should we care about ethical
decision-making? This presentation provides a practical and candid inquiry into
"Ethics and You." Using the IMC Code of Ethics*,
we will discover together the heart of ethics and the way they impact our
professional and business lives every day. Using real-time situations, we will
interact to become more consciously aware of our own understanding and response
to ethical decision-making. Why
should you care? Ethics have a tremendous
influence on the quality of your work and the success of your efforts to serve
your clients. This session will provide an opportunity for us to discover the
heart of ethical decision-making and how ethics lead us to and through better
business decisions. *The IMC Code of Ethics is a standard used internationally by professional consultants to ensure they are providing consultation at the highest ethical level.
