What Are Your Ethics?
Over the past month or therefore I have been working my manner through a book titled The Ethics Of Star Trek. I usually scan books very quick, but this one has thus several concept involved that, well, I will not say I'm struggling to get through it anymore, however it's therefore detailed and compact that it's become a lot of of a love/hate relationship than something else.
After all, one cannot talk regarding the ethics of Star Trek without talking regarding the ethics of the captains of every series, as a result of leaders tend to set the basis for how everybody else within their community goes to act. Sure, there are forever those people who will go against the grain, but generally, if individuals respect their leaders they are visiting try to be additional like them, and if they don't they're going to try to be less like them.
Though most leaders and managers most likely rarely assume concerning it, that is a lot of pressure that they have to bare. It's no longer smart enough to merely be smart as a manager at the job for which you were employed for. You're now needed to be moral in your personal life moreover, particularly if there's the likelihood that you could somehow injury the reputation of the company you're employed for. CEO Mark Hurd of Hewitt Packard just learned that lesson, an don his way out stated that he'd violated his own customary of conduct.
In fact we have many samples of that sort of factor happening, from Tiger Woods to Eliot Spitzer to Jesse Jackson, all folks who set themselves up collectively thing solely for us to find out that they were really doing one thing totally different. Each time someone in the grasp is caught, the primary factor they ask of everyone is to respect their privacy. Sadly, once you have place yourself out there, privacy is nonexistent; you belong to somebody else.
That is how it's with managers and leaders, which I see as separate entities. They're not massive on the national stage, but they are big at intervals their own little pond, as they need folks reporting to them and are ultimately reportable to someone else, even if they are the owner of the company. The ethics they exhibit are going to work out their effectiveness long term, and one dangerous step and it may all be gone.
Of course, there's the fact that if one's ethics have continually been suspect that they might be able to get over. For instance, Don King, the boxing promoter, has forever had moral problems surrounding him, initial from his conviction for killing someone when he was younger, then for a number of the questionable boxing deals he's place along over the course of virtually 40 years of promotions where virtually each boxer he is ever represented ended up broke or filing for bankruptcy at some purpose once their fighting days were over. He is one in all the few who's been in a position to bank on that exact name and still thrive at what he will as a result of he's never presented himself as anything more than what he was, that being a smart boxing promoter.
All folks don't have that, and in reading this book and seeing how the author breaks down the ethics of each captain (a minimum of the primary four; the book was written before Enterprise came on TV), it's superb just how closely each one relates to the other in ethics and where all seem to draw the line. With each captain there was one ethic that took precedent over something else; that was duty to the crew. Treat the crew right and they'll follow you no matter what. None of them is good either, however they would not do something that will create them look dangerous within the eyes of their crew or of Star Fleet. They apprehend the role they've accepted, and would rather die than breach those ethics.
As a leader, how are you putting forth your ethics as they pertain to your staff? If you wish a refresher course, I'd advocate watching some Star Trek episodes. I would suggest reading the book in addition, but that might take some time.
