Difference between Values & Ethics
• "Values are what we judge to be right."
• Individually or organizationally, values determine what is right and what is wrong
• Doing what is right or wrong is what we mean by ethics.
• To behave ethically is to behave in a manner consistent with what is right or moral.
- about words–– what we say
- simply a written code
- an intention
(and character) is whether we are willing to do the “right” thing
… even when it requires our personal sacrifice
