2 Agenda So What is Ethics? Sample Ethical Principles Making Ethical Decisions Concluding Thoughts on Ethical Leadership
3 So What is Ethics?
4 Ethics is Not... Abstract and irrelevant to real-world practice Just a matter of personal preference About what is best for me
5 Ethics is Not... Simply following the ethics laws. There are actions that are lawful but not ethical There are actions that are ethical that may violate the law Some actions, if not for the law, would be perfectly acceptable ethically Some actions may be ethically required but are illegal
6 So... What is Ethics? moral principles for living and making decisions. Larry Z. Leslie (2004) Mass Communication Ethics: Decision making in postmodern culture, 2 nd edition. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 6. the study of what we ought to do. A. David Gordon and John Michael Kittross (1999) Controversies in Media Ethics, 2 nd edition. New York: Longman, 1.
7 The Foundation: Values That is... Whatever it is that we value And that is relevant/important to consider Moral values Broadly defined
8 The Values of a Public Servant Not only what we ourselves value personally Values associated with our role The values of our constituents/community Institutional values Collective goods for which we bear special responsibility
9 The Necessity of Inconsistency Public servants need to adopt codes of ethical conduct that reflect their roles, not just their personal values In this sense, consistency between one s public and one s private conduct may not be a virtue
10 Discussion
11 The Role of the Facts on the Ground Guide us in determining which of our values should be considered Determine the decision(s) that must be made Guide us in evaluating the merits of various options
12 The Role of the Facts on the Ground DO NOT determine whether something is or is not valued DO NOT change the rules
13 Ethical Principles Guides to deciding what to do, given our values and the facts on the ground Methods of applying our values to the facts
14 Sample Ethical Principles
15 Character/Virtue Do that which avoids both the extremes of too much and too little. The Golden Mean (Aristotle)
16 Character/Virtue Do that which you can justify and for which you are willing to take complete responsibility. Existentialist (Jean-Paul Sartre)
17 Ethic of Care A commitment to flourishing and growth of individuals,... [while] acknowledg[ing] our interconnectedness and interdependence. (Maurice Hammington) more a characterization of a social relation than the description of an individual disposition. (Virginia Held)
18 Duty Do that which you would want every person to do, as if required by law. The Categorical Imperative (Immanuel Kant)
19 Duty Do unto others what you would have them do unto you. The Golden Rule (Jesus of Nazareth)
20 Consequentialist The greatest good for the greatest number, while doing the least harm possible Utilitarianism (John Stuart Mill)
21 Consequentialist Imagine that you do not know anything about who you are in the society in which the results of your decision are to be experienced. What decision would you choose? Veil of Ignorance (John Rawls)
22 Contrasts Character Duty Care Consequence
23 Reason and Intuition Some ethicists insist that ethics is all in our heads We must set aside everything except rational thought Some ethicists insist that an important element of ethics is in our hearts Call it conscience, or intuition, or inspiration, or discernment Something that is not strictly irrational, but more accurately nonrational
24 Questions?
25 Making Ethical Decisions
26 Ethical Dilemma A difficult choice between two or more alternatives, each of which can be defended plausibly in ethical terms Struggling with doing the right thing, when the right thing is obvious, is not an ethical dilemma It is a character test
27 Case #1 The Parking Ticket Fact Summary: You have parked illegally No harm has resulted A ticket is being written as you approach When the officer recognizes you, he/she starts to put the ticket book away.
28 Case #1 The Parking Ticket Fact Summary: You have parked illegally No harm has resulted A ticket is being written as you approach When the officer recognizes you, he/she starts to put the ticket book away. The Ethical Question:??? Decision:??? Rationale:???
29 Case #2 Help from an Old Friend Fact Summary: You have an old, wealthy and powerful friend in town Your adult child is looking for that first career job Your friend personally offers him/her a job
30 Case #2 Help from an Old Friend Fact Summary: You have an old, wealthy and powerful friend in town Your adult child is looking for that first career job Your friend personally offers him/her a job The Ethical Question:??? Decision:??? Rationale:???
31 Case #3 - Renewal Fact Summary: A well-funded, well-respected developer proposes a major revitalization project for a blighted area In order to implement the project, the city will need to exercise its power of eminent domain The residents of the area are unified in their opposition to the project and the threat of the loss of their properties
32 Case #3 - Renewal Fact Summary: A well-funded, well-respected developer proposes a major revitalization project for a blighted area In order to implement the project, the city will need to exercise its power of eminent domain The residents of the area are unified in their opposition to the project and the threat of the loss of their properties The Ethical Question:??? Decision:??? Rationale:???
33 Concluding Thoughts on Ethical Leadership
34 Ethical Decision Making Involves... Applying relevant values To the facts of a situation By means of one or more tested ethical principles
35 Being an Ethical Public Leader... Requires us to consider values unique to our role Requires us to be able to explain our actions so that others can at least understand, if not agree with, our actions And see them as the legitimate acts of a public servant
36 On Being an Ethical Public Leader Being ethical can be costly Emotionally Interpersonally Socially Economically Politically Of course, being unethical can be costly, too!
37 On Being an Ethical Public Leader Your office brings with it unique ethical obligations Your office also brings with it a higher degree of visibility and public interest in your activities Which is a form of power that you have received
38 On Being an Ethical Public Leader Use the power you have to change the way others see government, politics and what it means to conduct oneself with real honor and integrity
