We all tackle ethical dilemmas. Wrong decisions can break careers. Which are the key challenges faced? What are some likely solutions? Where can we find effective tools? Who can apply these and why? Dry, theoretical discussions don't help. Join us for lively, light conversations to learn, share and grow!

Date
I read some time ago that a good project manager is the one who can leave for vacation without causing any impediments to his/her project (as the team is prepared, everyone knows exactly what to do and how to do it).
Assuming that you are such a project manager, who will enjoy your vacation not worrying about your project 😊, we thought to give you some nerd kind of entertainment: do you fancy a crossword?!
Solve it and let us know if you succeed to find the hidden word (made of the light blue highlighted letters). Enjoy!
Horizontal:
- Our duty to show a high regard for ourselves, others, and the resources entrusted to us.
- It outlines the ethical principles that govern our decisions and behavior.
- A conclusion or resolution reached after consideration of all involved aspects, including ethics in most cases.
- Moral principles that govern a person's behavior or the conducting of an activity.
- Our duty to make decisions and act impartially and objectively.
- …. Ethics Assessment – ethics tool, component of the Ethics Toolkit, that provides an effective four-step process to assess team members’ knowledge on ethics.
- Project Management Institute (abr.).
- Situations in which we must recognize divergent interests and refrain from influencing decisions (3 words).
Vertical:
- Ethics …. - designed by PMI to help project management practitioners to address ethical issues in their professional and volunteer activities.
- Our duty to take ownership for the decision we make or fail to make, the actions we take or fail to take, and the consequences that result.
- Framework developed by PMI, component of the Ethics Toolkit, that guides project managers toward ethical choices and accountability. (abr.)
- One of the most important factors that affect business ethics, through different interpretation of values, practices, behaviors.
- Morally good, justified, or acceptable.
- A professional in the field of project management (2 words).
- Our duty to understand the truth and act in a truthful manner both in our communications and in our conduct.
- Ethics ..... Assessment - ethics tool, component of the Ethics Toolkit, that allows one to become self-aware of own ethics knowledge, understandings, and principles.
Note: the Ethics Toolkit is available on the PMI website: https://www.pmi.org/about/ethics/resources/toolkit

Hey, an interesting crossword. Blue highlighted words make 'TRIBES'.
Let us know what you think.

It looks like @Neelu likes crossword puzzles, and since the Bistro is open, I’ll go with her 2nd word finding. Great idea @Simona!

@George Freeman: Thank you, George. Indeed, the Bistro is open :)
Oh Great work creating a Project Management Crossword!
I solved it and obtained the letters "R o s b t i" leading to Orbits/Bistro; but that doesn't really answer the question.
What is the actual word? is it Bistro?

Great idea, @Simona, what a good combination of project management, ethics, vacation, sand and vacation, all under the Ethics Bistro's umbrella!
