What to Say When – Conflict Resolution Series: You’re Asked to Compromise Your Ethics

What do you say when a colleague asks you to lie, or a manager asks you to fudge a report? Learn how to preserve your ethics and the relationship. Unethical requests that surprise you, catch you off guard or are difficult to grasp can come at you quickly. Often, they come with added pressure to respond immediately. This can make it difficult to fully consider the implications of the request. In this course, you’ll learn how to buy time rather than commit to an immediate answer. We’ll provide a 3-step strategy and 3 questions to help you arrive at an answer that is ethically right and that you’ll be comfortable with.

After finishing this brief course you’ll be prepared to address ethical issues with confidence. Pass the course quiz at the end with a score of 80 percent or higher and receive a certificate of completion.
