Description

An innovative session that taps the areas of neuroscience, psychology and biology to understand how science, emotion, and ethical decision-making interact. Instead of critiquing how our minds are supposed to work, this session delves into the fascinating world of how our minds actually work when we face difficult problems where a `best choice" doesn't seem to exist. The talk will also explore why ethical codes have too often failed and how to improve individual and organizational ethical reasoning.

This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

Highlights

The major topics that will be covered in this class include:

  • Why model codes of ethics fail
  • The science behind organizations "Ethical DNA"
  • Understanding the psychology behind "Tone at the Top"

  • Breaking myths about motivation related to decision making
  • Ethical decision-making under pressure
  • Are ethics and morals "fixed" or can we learn to improve
