Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A defining moment in terms of ethics arises when a business person has to choose between two or more morally sound choices. This means that there is not necessarily a clear right or wrong answer, and the decision will be based on the individual's values and principles. Choices such as cheating on an expense account or reporting on a co-worker's unethical behavior may be clear cut and not as defining as a situation where a decision must be made based on one's own ethical beliefs. Recognition for outstanding ethical behavior is important, but it does not necessarily pose a defining moment.
