Ethics and Decision Making

Decision-making is a process of identifying problems and opportunities and select from alternative courses of action to deal successfully with them. However, not all decisions should be a routine process. Complex problems are always subject to individuals in the organizations of conflicting ethical and moral issues "that are hard choice of one hole" right "against another" (Gray, Clarke, 2004). What is right? What is wrong? What is the right-to-right? These questions must be answered before the most complete solutions. Asking the right questions can be rewarding and effective. In addition, asking the right questions can lead to more effective decision-making process (Brown, Keeley, 2000). Effective solutions should evaluate the influence of ethics in decision-making by identifying and exploring the ethics of ethically justifiable decision. Only then will peace be reasonably maintained.

Leadership is a powerful example of whether the following code of ethics or rationalize unethical behavior (Hurley). In the field changes the rules, if the parties to deviate from any point of view. "Attitudes and actions of our employees and fellow professionals, may also influence our ethical conduct" (Hurley). Ethical behavior reconsidered when loyalty is refused.(Gray, Clarke, 2004).
