Document Summary
Culture of an organization should be built on ethical values such as honesty, responsibility and accountability. Ethical blind spots: gap between who you want to be and who you actually are. Blind spots are attributed to the concept of bounded ethicality: good people who engage in questionable behavior. Rewards, compliance systems and informal pressures can lead to ethical fading: process where ethical dimensions are eliminated from a decision. We learn how to be ethical by practicing and exercising those virtues.
