While reading “Ethical Role of a Manager”, I learned the impact of managerial decsions on the evniroment and the people itself. The article mentioned ethical desicion making frameworks and how they are used by manager in daily problems. It compares the narrow view vs the broad view of the ethical role of manager. The broad being that leading is inherently ethical as each decsions effcts the people/environment  and the narrow focuses on only the interest of the shareholder. 

This article relates to me personally as ethical decsion making occurs daily. Whether it be relates to school, work, or just in personal life dilemmas occur all the time. I make decisions based on my own moral integrity daily and sometimes fail to do so. This results in consequences and in turn I have to take responsibility for my mistakes. This article remind me how important it is to stay true to my ethical standards when making all my decsions. 

This reminds me of the Hot Topic Headline this week on generative AI. Both articles talk of the importance of managers thinking beyond just profit and focusing on the ethical side of decsion making. They also mention the long term effects of decsions and how it can have major consequences. 

In the real world, many corporations face issues based on bad managerial decisions. Facebook had a data privacy issue where morals were overlooked to solely focus on profit. This is just one example and happens quite often. On the other hand, some companies are good at prioritizing ethical decision making, like Ben and Jerrys who are known for their transparency
