Deputy Sheriff
How might my ethical perspective influence my individual work and my group work?

Personally, I do not think it will in a negative way because, I will not let it. I deal with a variety of individuals on a daily basis and to my credit, I am open-minded. I value and I welcome differences of opinions, I am compassionate to individuals needs and I listen. I truly believe, this has contributed to my many years of success. Has everyday been a good day? No. But, because of who I am and what I represent (Positive Energy), I have flourished in my personal and my professional life.

1) Ethical is defined as; morals, principles, beliefs and immoral.

2) Perspective is defined as; point of view, outlook and perception.

In the workplace you have set standards and guidelines in place that dictate your behavior and yes to some degree, your personal beliefs. It is up to you, the individual to govern yourself accordingly and be somewhat flexible or suffer the consequences. It is not always what you think or what you believe that is right or wrong. It's simply, doing what's right (doing the right thing).

One rule of thumb I personally live by if I'm in a group setting and I do not agree with another individuals personal ethical perspective is; “Feel it, Think it, But don't say it. “I have found, this method works for me and everyone leaves at the end of the day at peace.

I know when working with a group of people there is always going to be differences of opinions. In my opinion, as long as your final decisions are based on right verses wrong and not individual ethical perspectives (which vary) you can as a group, come to an acceptable conclusive conclusion.

    Group decision making can be very helpful in getting different thoughts and opinions out of discussion, but also can be dangerous because of groupthink. Groupthink occurs when people avoid individually testing, analyzing, and evaluating facts in order to avoid upsetting the consensus of a group. In effect a conflict occurs whereby some topics are okay to discuss while others are closed often without the group being consciously aware of it. Those who violate the unspoken rules often find themselves being ostracized, alienated and ultimately expelled from the group.…

    Gan, PhD (N.D.), “All people have his or her set of personal values that come from society, families, religions, and experiences”. Companies know-a day’s try to onboard people whose personal values lattice with the company’s. However, one’s personal values will eventually conflict with organizational business protocols because any business looking to make money is not always going to make decisions based on people’s feelings. A business at some time must decide to do what is best for the company and sometimes the decision is not necessarily what’s best for the employees but more so for the board of trustees. That, in my opinion is when one’s personal values are in conflict with organizational/interpersonal business protocols.…

    The way in which you respond to people is linked to what you believe in, what you consider important and what interests you. You may find you react positively to people who share your values and less warmly to people who have different priorities. When you develop friendships, it is natural to spend time with people who share your interests and values. However, the professional relationships you develop with people you support are another matter. As a professional, you are required to provide the same quality of support for all, not just for those who share your views and beliefs. This may seem obvious, but knowing what you need to do and achieving it successfully is not the same thing.…
