TOPIC: Taking the High Road while Managing Your Project (1.25 PDU – Leadership)
Some of the ethical situations when managing a project can be the admission of wrongdoing or focus of blame. Although the project manager is in charge of ensuring the project is completed on time and under budget, sometimes a project can fail despite the project manager’s strongest efforts. In cases of project incompletion or failure, it should be said that the team failed. This is the most ethical outcome in this sense because it points the blame for failure on the team as a whole instead of just one or two people. Come hear how you can recruit and build ethical teams!
