About the course
Judgment for when there is no manual
Rules tell you what you can't do. Ethics, who you want to be.
Almost nobody joins a company planning to do the wrong thing. Ethical problems rarely start with a big decision: they start with a figure that gets rounded, a favor nobody mentions or a rush that justifies skipping a step.
An organization stakes its reputation on small decisions nobody is watching. This course gives you the judgment to see them coming, make them well and explain why.
This is not a course about rules or compliance. It is a course about learning to think before you decide.

Syllabus
The syllabus, block by block
Four blocks and twelve lessons: from the foundations of ethics to the tools for deciding.
Ethics in organizations
What ethics is and what it is not, and why an organization needs it to build trust.
Ethics in the workplace
Your intentions, your dilemmas and what you answer for even when you were told to do it.
The ethics of human behavior: person and action
How a decision is judged by its end, its means and its circumstances, and what you answer for.
From values to practice: dilemmas, codes and ethical culture
Six steps for reasoning through a dilemma, codes people follow, whistleblowing channels and leading by example.
Learning by doing
Try it: an exercise from the course
Five realistic workplace cases, each with three ways out. Pick yours and see which principle you uphold, which you give up and what follows. The exercise is in Spanish: try it right here, no sign-up needed.
