LOOKING AHEAD

As illustrated by the rash of scandals in the corporate and even the athletic worlds, the dissemination and instruction of rules, principles, and codes of conduct does not seem to be enough to influence and direct those who might be vulnerable to engaging in ethical misconduct. Recent research suggests that training in social-metacognitive strategies, such as looking within and assessing your emotions, may also be needed to provide leaders with the additional information and cognitive tools they need to make the most ethical decisions. Such training just may prove to be the ingredient needed to increase overall ethical behavior in the workplace.
