Ethics plays a critical role in project management, but all too
often, its importance is overlooked. This benign neglect can result
in serious consequences to individuals and organizations, ranging
from tarnished reputations to civil and criminal liability. Ethics
and Project Management demonstrates the importance of making ethics
a key consideration in managing projects and describes the impacts
that occur when ethical transgressions arise.
Providing the tools necessary for project managers to avoid an
ethical lapse that can put themselves and their organization at
risk, this volume:
- Defines ethics and places it within the project management
context
- Discusses the contents of the Project Management Institute's
code of ethics
- Enables project managers to recognize the trends that
precipitate ethical dilemmas on a project
- Demonstrates how ethical concerns permeate the entire project
life cycle
- Provides tips on establishing a governance protocol to ensure
ethical compliance
- Explores legal issues that arise from unethical behavior
- Examines how ethical concerns on a project can have global
implications, and how to operate in international settings with
cultural differences
Each chapter ends with a Getting Started Checklist, facilitating
immediate application of the concepts discussed and making it easy
for project managers to determine whether they are in compliance
with ethical standards. Providing a solid roadmap for the ethical
health of a project, this volume is essential reading for all those
concerned with avoiding the disastrous consequences of a cavalier
approach to ethics.
Praise for the book:
... a great desktop reference for any project manager. It is a
must-have title to complete any project management library and I
recommend it to both new and highly experienced project
managers.
