Ethics in People Management - The Helicopter View

Abstract

Ethics is an attribute which blends with culture, character and commitment to stand to societal requirements in most efficient and ethically judicious say. The preamble of ethics as an acronym is ‘excellence’! To secure that one must pursue a helicopter view, and no less. It is because a helicopter view conceptually helps rising above the level of a situation so as to holistically view that in the length and breadth of the wider context. But this paper illustrates no sustainable success or excellence may be achievable, unless ‘ethics’ are maintained. Sometimes the impacts are vicious as in education. The academic is one who impacts the Human resource scenario greatly. This paper discussed the issue critically, and cites an example of the academic process.

Keywords: excellence, culture, character, commitment, societal requirements, academic process
