Whether we recognize it or not, we are confronted with ethical situations everyday. Ethics dictate how we act, how we behave, and guides the decisions we make. How do we avoid regretting our actions later on in life? Regret can sometimes sink in almost immediately, but it can also take years to surface.
In this course, you learn two approaches to dealing with ethical situations and preventing regret. Using a principles-based approach, you learn to take actions and make decisions keeping in mind five simple to remember (but harder to live by) principles. A prescriptive approach will help you embed ethics into your decision-making process. Both approaches are demonstrated through an integrated video case.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize how to apply ethical principles in everyday situations and avoid regret.
- Discover how to apply an ethical decision-making framework to ethical situations to reach optimal solutions.

Good application in every-day work. Interesting case illustrations
This course provided a good overview of evaluating ethical dilemmas as well as many effective considerations to employ when dealing with how to approach/respond to ethical situations in the workplace. A great refresher for anyone in the workplace to keep ethical thinking top of mind in our day-to-day interactions. The instructors presented content in an informative and highly-engaging way, including supporting materials to reiterate key concepts taught throughout the course.
I really liked the two approaches to ethical decision making laid out in this course. The first is so common sense, I wish someone had laid this out in a course years ago! It just makes sense. The second also has merits in certain business situations as well. Thanks for tools!
Nice continuation from the first course, Ethical Intelligence, in which the speakers build upon the original content. The materials were helpful and relevant. The case study at the end of the course was a great way to tie it all together.
В процессе обучения излагается очень своеобразный подход к решению этическим проблем. Для общего развития стоит это послушать
Another great course by this duo. I appreciated the scenarios/examples used in the presentation to help provide further understanding of the subject matter.
I like the approach used: discuss the background ideas and present the principles and then use an interesting case to show how the principles are applied.
Very well structured, prepared and presented. In some ways, a complex subject. However, though their preparation, the presenters made it say to follow.
Pleased to attend that course cause its very informative and easily guiding you on how to use the right approach in dealing with different situations.
This course provided very interesting examples of how to apply the ethical decision making process. The course was both applicable and interesting.
I really enjoyed this course and will uses both the principles and the prescriptive approaches as guides to help me make the best ethical decisions.
Approaches are described in a clear and concise manner with great, evolving examples that progressively captures the possible complexity of events.
This course was very helpful and it was interesting to learn about the two approaches to ethical situations as I haven't heard of this before.
I found the wording of the exam questions to be confusing, not strictly based on the language in the lesson. But I did like the scenarios.
The presentation was extremely well-ordered and seamlessly moved through teaching the facts then applying with examples of each approach.
The principles could have been presented in a better way, but over-all it's a very good discussion which complements the other lectures
Interesting! I've always done a few of these, but the addition of (or identification of) the others will lead to better decisions.
It was ok. I didn't agree with some of the principles in a work environment but they might work better in a personal environment.
good course, a bit tricky because personal instincts tend to take over in many situations. This is a good guide for the future.
