...the decision making process of the Adelphia Communication’s executive board, namely John Rigas, and how his decisions not only violated the basic trust of their shareholders but violated the ethical framework of what should have been a successful, solid, honest family business. Ethics is loosely defined as rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad (Webster’s on line dictionary). As morality and Ethics are defined as one in the same for the purposes of commonality, the professional liberties taken by Rigas violated what any professional and/or layperson would consider good business practices. The examination of the ethical breaches made by the executive board, namely having motives that were self-serving and actions that contradicted acting dutiful to the wellbeing of the company which was composed of various family members. This not only paved the way for ongoing bad decisions, but ultimately corrupted the fabric of the company so much that when the corruption was finally discovered the company was destroyed in more ways than just financial. The company had lost all public trust from which they could not recover. From the perspective of the deontological framework, the exclusion of the basic principles of proper ethical behavior proved that attempting to create a structured entity without these basic principles may have be personally beneficial in the short term but the reality of unethical business practices did not survive public or in house scrutiny...

...Excerpted from The Tracks We Leave: Ethical and Management Dilemmas in Healthcare, Second Edition, by Frankie Perry, RN, LFACHE (Health Administration Press, 2013) CHAPTER 1 Understanding Your Ethical Responsibilities Hea lt h c a re l eader s and those aspiring to be leaders must recognize first and foremost that character and integrity constitute the very cornerstone of leadership. Organizations have failed and promising careers have been derailed when ethics have been relegated to secondary importance or, worse yet, ignored in the pursuit of more bottom-line considerations. Healthcare managers must understand their role and responsibility in creating an ethical healthcare environment that is honest, just, and always in the best interests of those being served. Whether you are the CEO, an assistant administrator, a department head, a program manager, or a clinician, if you are “in charge,” you have the ultimate responsibility for establishing the culture and setting the standards of conduct in your sphere of influence. This task is not always an easy one. Nor is it easy for well-intentioned managers to always make ethical decisions themselves. BARRIERS TO ETH ICAL D ECIS I O N M A K I NG In our book Healthcare Leadership Excellence: Creating a Career of Impact, James Rice and I identify some of the common barriers to ethical decision making and seven pitfalls for managers to avoid (Rice and Perry 2013, 29–37). We then make recommendations for building...

...| | | | | | | The Ethical Principles: How it impacts on Life in General and in Business Based on some of the recent history ethical failures committed by executives from huge organizations like Enron, Arthur Andersen, PricewaterHouseCoopers, so on and so forth, if history teaches us anything is that ethics and character count a whole lot, especially in the business world. These executives, by their failures of ethics, all because for their personal benefits, had destroyed and tarnished not only the organizations reputation but, in many cases, its financial impacts resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars as damage and tarnish their reputation and their prospective career, not to mention damaging their prospective families financial security and, in some cases, serving many years in prison as the ultimate consequences. In today’s volatile, high tech, interdependent business world, charisma leadership style without conscience and being clever without character are a recipe for economic and personal failure of epic proportions. As quote from President Roosevelt –“To educate the mind without the morals is to educate a menace to society. The following core ethical principles, if one chose to follow rigorously, can play a vital role to success to leadership: Honesty, Integrity, Promise-Keeping, Loyalty, Fairness, Caring, Respect For Others, Law Abiding, Commitment To Excellence, Leadership (Exemplify honor & ethics), Reputation &...

Rationale for the design of your code of ethics The motivation for designing a code of ethics stems from the author’s doctoral course on ethical dilemmas and stewardship. For this author, it opened the gateway to research for meaning and purpose to understand the importance on why educational, corporate and religious organizations must have a code of ethics that is grounded with integrity, authenticity and accountability. In order for a code of ethics to be in alignment personally, professionally, and organizationally, there must be a balance between an ethical climate and organizational culture which embraces race...

...The Parable of the Sadhu walks us through an ethical dilemma that Bowen McCoy had faced on his journey through Nepal. McCoy and his anthropologist friend Stephen had been at the halfway point of their 60 day travel through the Himalayan mountains. While on this journey there were 3 other groups of travelers that had joined, the New Zealanders, the Swiss, and the Japanese. During their travels the mountaineers encountered an Indian holy man, a Sadhu, who was near death, half naked, barefoot, and suffering from exhaustion and hypothermia. They had found the man at 15,500 ft. while attempting to reach their summit point at 18,000 ft. Here is where the ethical dilemma rears its head. The travelers were now faced with heavy questions: do they help the Sadhu ultimately diverging them from their goal to reach the summit, or do they keep hiking on and leave the Sadhu to possibly die? Another ethical dilemma is seen at the end of the parable when McCoy begins to question if he should have done more? (The Parable of the Sadhu, 1997) The ethical frameworks that can be seen at the core of Stephen’s and McCoy’s conflicting responses to the problem of the Sadhu are that Stephen took a deontological approach while McCoy seems to have taken the a utilitarian approach. Stephen was quicker in thinking and making his decisions based on his ethical framework. By taking the deontological approach, Stephen was focused on duty. The deontological approach allows...
