How do you drive ethical behavior within your team?

Organizational Culture

Dr. Deepa Bhide Hyderabad, Telangana, India

We have often seen that project team members resort to unethical behavior in spite of presence of ground rules around ethics. At times there is a critical dependency on these team members and its difficult to get them out of the team.

Other than walking the talk by the project manager, how does one drive ethical behavior within the team?

Here is another thought.... the PMI ethics team has a number of tools to support you as practitioners regarding ethics. One tool is the Ethical Decision Making Framework (EDMF). If you were in the situation that you were facing an ethical dilemma like the one posted in Deepa's question, this framework can guide you through some simple questions.

You can find more information at: https://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/documents/...sc_lang_temp=en

or visit the webinar on use of the EDMF here on ProjectManagement.com https://www.projectmanagement.com/videos/4...aking-Framework

Thanks a lot Deepa and Valerie! What a great start to 2019 with this question and answers including all the references included in Valerie's!

I agree with the previous answers - encouraging ethical behaviour has a multitude of approaches that start with an ethical code, guidelines and policies that are NOT only preached, but also practiced by all levels of the leadership creating an environment of trust and openness. Difficult situations are discussed and the ethical compass prevails.

When there are ground rules, it is very simple. You and your teammates either follow them or not.

The question arises when the situation at hand does not easily fit into those rules.

In order to enrich the discussion for me, can anybody give examples of their ground rules? Or if you know, can you direct me to a sample set of rules?
