Learn how to resist several myths--"zombie ethics"--that will destroy the good work you're doing if you're not careful
The walking dead aren’t the only threat to your good work in HR. So are several dangerous, even terrifying myths about ethics, such as:
*There are no right or wrong answers in ethics *Ethical standards vary from culture to culture *If it's legal, it's ethical! *It's OK to tell a "white" lie
Wrong, wrong, wrong!, says your instructor, Forbes contributor Dr. Bruce Weinstein, The Ethics Guy. All of these are zombie ideas--wrongful concepts that deserve to be sent to the cemetery for good.
