Do you look for your leader to behave ethically or will you be ethical even if everyone around you is not
Amany NuseibehSpeaker, Global Leader | Optimal ConsultingSydney, Nsw, Australia
I joined a new team recently - I was impressed by the call from the executive to be ethical and respectful to each other as the pressures of the large transformation the organization is undertaking takes its toll. The executive message was echoed by every manger within the hierarchy. Hence the question, do you look for your leader to behave ethically? to set the tone? and how would you behave in an environment where everyone around you acts unethically? Saving Changes...
Riyadh, I don't comprehend the term "sinners". I guess it's the same as saying people make mistakes, aren't perfect, and never will be, without the religious connotations. But we are in agreement on your premise: that all managers slip up from time to time, but should strive to maintain ethical standards.
Ok Sante no worries about " religious connotations" which wasn't my intention so let's say all human being makes mistakes and the best among them those who repent.
yes no one is perfect

Thank you Henry. I was wondering if you could share how would you behave in an environment where everyone around you acts unethically?

A leader is expected to be ethical and fair and I am also expected to behave the same as leader. Not only I look up to my leaders to be ethical but at the same time I also try to be ethical because my team looks up to me. If everyone around me is behaving unethical, may be its a sign to move on. I don't see any reason to behave anyone violating ethical values just because everyone around is doing so.

Being ethical, or behaving ethically, is a choice that is independent of anyone else around you.
Of course, one would also look to their leaders to behave ethically - but their behaviour should not be a factor in the choices one makes.
And, regardless of anything else, always document decisions and the criteria for these decisions. They may not seem important at the time - but if you have a question about if the leadership is ethical or not, even the smallest decisions may fall prey to reviews or audits.

APPROACHABLE BEHAVIOR when it responds to some parameters that aim at the pursuit of the collective good in the specific case are the good of the company.
The behavior must use parameters that qualify the action and respond to the objectives that you want to achieve. The reference tool to qualify the behavior is that of an ethical policy.

the leader must be an example in demonstrating and communicating the ethical principle, whoever does not respect this principle is out of the team
