Abstract

A great misunderstanding persists in the field of ethics - that people should practice 'business ethics' at work and 'personal ethics' at home. If we look beyond situations, however, we see that all ethics are personal. Work does pose special challenges and constraints. But our actions still depend on the ethics of the same person inside. This chapter focuses on using your personal code of ethics in the workplace. This chapter is excerpted from ‘Ethics for the Real World: Creating a Personal Code to Guide Decisions in Work and Life'.
