You may have a general understanding of the difference between ethics and legality, but could you explain the distinction? It is not always easy to know where to draw the line between the two. Some behaviors are both unethical and illegal; however, this is not always the case. When legal but unethical practices are discovered within an organization, the impact can still be detrimental, as in the case of a tarnished reputation or loss of a community’s trust. In this Discussion, you will focus on the significance of the connection between unethical practices and the legality, particularly in terms of the impact on an organization.
To prepare for this Discussion:
*Watch the following media piece located in this week’s Learning Resources: Legal vs. Ethical Liability: A Crisis of Leadership and Culture | Mel Fugate | TEDxSMU.
