There are numerous examples of corporate malfeasance, from Enron to WorldCom. In the public sector, an example is Mayor Kilpatrick from Detroit, who is currently serving a 28-year sentence for corruption.
As a newly appointed leader in the public sector, how would you highlight the importance of ethics to your team? What tools or techniques could you use?
As a public sector leader, there are several steps that I would take to highlight the importance of ethics with my team.
First, it’s important to assess the threats to ethical conduct (Whitton, 2001). There are always temptations to overlook things, or even to steal public finds, and acknowledging these realities is an important first step.

Another important technique that goes with this, is fostering a culture of ethics amongst my team (Whitton, 202=01). My team needs to believe in the importance of professionalism and support for the rule of law.
Compliance tracking and reporting, as well as performance management techniques that support ethical values are other helpful tools (Whitton, 2001). Essentially, it needs to be expected and verified that everyone serving in the public sector is conducting themselves legally and ethically, and there need to be clear consequences when they do not.
