Ethics In Nonprofit Organizations By Gary M. Grobman
MGMT Tips Review
After completing last weeks assignment, I took on the personal challenge of identifying my temptations - or weaknesses, in order to be more self aware. While self reflecting, I saw the common theme of ethics in my work history. My heart has always had good intentions but my actions would sometimes lye in a grey area. While searching websites an article on The Nonprofit Times website caught my eye, "6 Tips for Strong Organization Ethics". The article pulls information from “Ethics in Nonprofit Organizations,” by Gary M. Grobman and , basically, summarizes his points.
The Nonprofit Times paraphrases that the first rule is to follow the rules. There is no room for error or a grey area, rules are there for a purpose. The second
tip advises leaders to reflect if in doubt. Consult the rule book, reflect and then ask yourself if you would be embarrassed if you choice was made public.Using Grobman's rules The Nonprofit Times advises leaders to compare their pay, standards and rules to others in the industry to be self aware and knowledgeable. Leaders are also reminded to avoid conflict of interest with board members.The last two tips include getting at least 3 bid for contracts and the suggestion to adopt a formal conflict of interest policy.
I was rather disappointed when I clicked on the article that had big bold letters, leading me to believe that I was about to read a very informative essay on improving ethics in an organization as well as tips I could apply to my personal struggle. The article was shorter that this essay and had little to inspiration. At first glance, I was impressed of what The Nonprofit Times had to offer, especially in the Management Tips section. It appears to be more quality over quality on this website. The lackluster writing and information was disappointing to say the least.
