A lot of managers have ethical blindspots, such as employee output winning over employee well-being. This will be always be an age-old problem, so finding the right balance through collaborative dialogue will satisfy the ethical demigods.

The problem is to put ethic in the right place. First, it is important to understand what ethic means. After that to decide if what ethic means for you matches with what is defined as ethic in your current work place. If not then you have to quit the place. If that is not possible then you have to live together with it at the limit is accepted by yourself. For example is ethic to be the project/program manager of an initiative where the department of defence of a goverment is creating massive destruction weapons (that is the product/service/result)? Is ethic to be project/program manager of an initiative where the result will not take care of the environment or directly will destroy it when it will be implemented?
