My Command Sergeants Major Ethical Issue

Abstract

Ethics, as defined by Webster is "the system or code of morals of a particular person, religion, group, or profession". Every person in the world has his or her own norms, values and beliefs that effect their ethical decision making process. We as Sergeant Major have to understand that we have to be fair and impartial to every soldier and treat them equally and fare. A good leader will always use the Army Values and Ethos to help aid in making any decisions. Were leaders find themselves in a ethical dilemma is when they have done something in the past that that is embarrassing and a soldier may have knowledge of this event and have the leader in a compromising position. The other reason is because the leader has developed a great friendship with a soldier and this friendship gets in the way and clouds his or her judgment.
