“How Valuable Are Your Ethics or What is Your Price to Compromise Your Ethics?”
Everyone in business will eventually face a real crisis of conscience at some point or points in his or her career. Before facing that critical choice, I believe most people would say it is easy to think that they will act ethically, no matter what the personal cost. However, what will you really do when you are faced with the personal cost of losing the job you love (or desperately need) and placing your family’s welfare and your own self worth in jeopardy? Is your personal respect and integrity negotiable? Do you have an ethical compass in good working order to guide you in resolving these ethical dilemmas? What will you do the next time you are faced with an ethical dilemma? Perhaps the following selected quotations about ethics in business and society can provide some guidance or at least some food for thought.

Business Ethics
Business ethics are a hot topic these days; with everything from insider trading to employee theft on the rise, it is no wonder that businesses are beginning to focus on the impact of ethical leadership. However, along with this new focus comes a lot of "gray area". Many times, managers are forced to decide on issues where there are arguments on both sides - a problem that makes ethical decision-making very difficult.
Business Ethics Guidelines: An Ethical Action Test From Your Strategic Thinking Business Coach
Each of us is ultimately responsible for our own actions. Although in today’s business world, I imagine many skeptics would take exception to that statement because there is evidence that people are not held accountable for their actions, even when they are unethical. And even more disturbing, some are even rewarded for unethical actions. Each of us makes a choice to act ethically or to act unethically. It is essential that we know what is ethical and what is unethical. But, more challenging and difficult than knowing what is ethical, is knowing what is right and then doing what is right. So what advice & guidance are available to check if the action is right before implementing a decision to act? Your strategic thinking business coach has a set of questions to provide guidance for ethical decisions & actions.

The Essence of Ethics
It's difficult to define, exactly, what ethical behavior is; and it's impossible to measure. But we can sense when ethics are present in an individual or a company culture - and especially we sense it when they're not. Ethical behavior is a two-way street. Companies and customers cannot effectively engage unless there is trust between them. And, to my point in this article, neither can companies and candidates.

Ethics and Business - Why Bother?
I have embarked on a difficult journey in developing skills in Counselling with the University of Hertfordshire. Part of that is a commitment to an ethical framework set out by the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I consequently considered that I need to make a similar commitment to my Mentoring clients (or prospective clients). I have separately adapted/abbreviated the BACP framework Now in business many people describe themselves as ethical and portray themselves to their customers and partners in that way. Rarely do they actually set down in writing the ethical framework of how they will do business.

Ethical Leadership Develops Moral Communities
Leaders in businesses and schools must determine what is right for their employees and students to ensure that the organization continues to improve.

Keeping your Non-profit Ethical
One would expect a non-profit organization to maintain higher ethical standards than any of the for-profit business organizations. However, the unfortunate fact is that ethical standards of non-profit organizations in general are on the decline, and not much better than those of the for-profit enterprises. A recent report by the Ethics Resource Center says that the decline in ethical standards of the employees at non-profits is at its lowest level in the last 10 years.
Simple Strategies to Defeat Any Challenge
Challenges are a normal part of life. Many people look at challenges and loathe them, but challenges help move us forward. We would stand still without challenges, would never improve ourselves, and would always be the same people we are right now. This knowledge may make challenges somewhat easier to deal with and may even enable you to defeat challenges or obstacles that are standing in your way.
