What Are We Doing Here?
No full textWhat is Getting Ethics to Work anyway? What are we trying to do with this podcast? On this Very Special Episode™ you\u27ll get to know our host Andy Cullison and producer Kate Berry. They explain that most workplace problems boil down to a tension over values, which is why it\u27s important to learn about ethics and develop moral reasoning skills. You\u27ll also hear about the Secret Sauce of Leadership™ and (surprise!) how it relates to ethics. Have a workplace dilemma you need some help with? Send your story to our producer Kate at [email protected]. For the episode’s transcript, click here.

This could be an explicit moral disagreement, such as Bob thinks it’s wrong to sell product X and Joe thinks it is perfectly okay to sell product X, but these tensions can also be hidden in disagreements that don’t look like they have anything to do with values or ethics.

Shownotes: More about Andy Cullison More about ethics and the Prindle Institute Moral reasoning is a term for a set of cognitive skills that help people reason through complicated moral or ethical dilemmas. There are at least four skills: a person with good moral reasoning skills can easily identify that something is a moral issue that most people would care about, can identify various reasons or arguments that someone might have for their moral opinions, can weigh competing moral considerations, and can clearly explain why they have made the moral decision they have made. A social good is a kind of good that promotes the overall well being of a large group, as opposed to an individual good which might only benefit a single individual, a social good benefits everyone in the group.
