What are Ethics?
Ethics is a term that is often heard when individuals discuss human service, legal, and
educational work. What exactly are ethics? According to Answers (2008) ethics are “The science
of human duty; the body of rules of duty drawn from this science” (para. 1). Ethics can be
described loosely as doing what is right. Why are ethics important in the human services field?
Ethics are important for those in human services because those individuals are working to
achieve what is best for another individual. Using one’s ethics on the job will assure that all
clients are treated fairly and that a client’s best interest is kept in mind.
Leadership
Leaders within an organization need to be the first to set high ethical standards. Edward
Hennessy once stated that “Ethics must begin at the top of an organization. It is a leadership
issue and the chief executive must set the example” (ThinkExist, 2006). When an individual is
given the opportunity to lead others, he or she must use that chance to instill strong ethics in his
or her employees. Living ones ethics on a daily basis is one of the best tools available to help
lead and influence others. When an individual leads by example rather than with an iron fist, he
or she becomes the person others chose to follow.
