Field of Study: Behavioral Ethics
Everyone believes themselves to be ethical, but our brains work in mysterious ways. In this session, you will learn how your brain can subconsciously work to disguise, alter, and transform different facts and events causing you to inadvertently
make unethical decisions. By understanding phenomena such as bounded ethicality, motivated blindness and ethical fading, you will learn how to mitigate the automatic behaviors that make good people do bad things.
You Will Learn How To:
- Recognize bounded ethicality and motivated blindness
- Ascertain the effects of power on ethical behavior
- Discern the effects of rivalry and competition on ethical behavior
- Identify how executives turn ethical decisions into business decisions without even realizing it
- Determine methods to maintain ethicality even as you rise in the organizational hierarchy
