SUMMARY:Ethics@Noon: "Making Ethical Distinctions: Precise Decision Langu
 age"
UID:events_stanford_edu_21283
DESCRIPTION:Ronald Howard (Management Science and Engineering)\n\nRon How
 ard's main focus is on improving the quality of decisions\; life-and-dea
 th decision making\; and the creation of a coercion-free society. He is 
 the author of numerous publications\, including the recently released Et
 hics for the Real World\, which he co-authored with Clint Korver. \n\nAc
 cording to Howard\, for "good" reasons\, we often make small ethical com
 promises: We lie to a customer because our boss asked us to. We exaggera
 te our accomplishments on our resume to get an interview. We salvage a p
 romotion by taking credit for a subordinate’s work. Temptation blindside
 s us. And we make snap decisions we regret.\n\nMinor ethical lapses can 
 seem harmless. But they instill in us a hard-to-break habit of distorted
  thinking. Rationalizations drown out our inner voice\, and we make up t
 he rules as we go. We lose control of our decisions and become a victim 
 to the temptations and pressures of our situations. We taint our charact
 er. We sour business and personal relationships.\n\nHoward has been teac
 hing ethics for close to three decades and during that time he has been 
 a sought after advisor about ethical decisions in work and life.\n
