Document Summary
What managers do to make things go wrong. Managers set the ethical tone for the organization: managers signal what matters through their behaviour, sharp-elbowed, opportunistic culture. Some executives are preoccupied with their own importance and compensation: these managers take every opportunity to feed their greed or nourish their egos. Unethical managers focus on their own needs and goals: concerned only with their own needs; these managers take all the credit fro successes. Unethical managers fail to speak up against acts they believe are wrong: being one of the guys. Ethical managers make a conscious and visible commitment to ethics. Ethical managers build an environment that encourages others to behave themselves. Ethical managers realize that what they do in their personal lives carries over to the professional arena. Ethical mangers demonstrate the importance of serving people and society. In many situations it is difficult to determine what is right.
