Ethics is focused on doing what is right. What simple things do you do in your projects to “do what is right”?

Hi Theodore. We are always looking for ways to make things right for our customers and our organization. In the execution of a project, we involve process consultants to evaluation the current processes affected by our projects and to produce a desired state to not only enhance our projects result, but also to modify any part of the process that can make things better for our customers.

The tricky part is that what is right can be different at different times. What was right yesterday may not be right tomorrow.

Very relevant question, Thank you for raising this Ted. One of right thing I focus is to set the project culture based on right values like openness, ethics and transparency.

As one who also works as a Sr. BA, sometimes the right thing is to not do anything. As the PM, push information out - good and bad. +1 for Alankar mentioning transparency.

The problem is the ambiguity of words like "right", It is a subjective matter that must be transformed into objective ones. And sorry, but is not related to ethics.

Determinism in ethics is troublesome but inaction is much worse.

Doing what is right is how I work toward building trust in me by my project team members, customers, stakeholders, and senior managers. And, for me, honesty is a primary method to do what is right. I work at being open and honest, and to provide direct objective feedback; the good and the bad. I speak truth to power. And, I openly acknowledge when something I did, or did, was less than perfect.

Act value driven - not only towards the result, but towards all involved stakeholders.
Make sure the enough 'sense of urgency' & 'meaning' of the result (y)our business wants to reach for your (project) co-workers, don't always act top-down, without your project co-workers you're realizing 1 thing: a theory of how well it should've been. Stimulate bottom-up communication, stimulate personal leadership & entrepreneurship. Make space & time for groupdynamical moments (it'll certainly enraise loyality, jobsatisfaction, team- and individual strengths)
