I enjoyed your article. Here is our take on ethics principles:

1. Submit To A Higher Authority
2. Live With Purpose
3. Interact With Integrity
4. Fulfill Your Roles With Time For Renewal
5. Care About People
6. Preserve The Sanctity Of Life And Be Improvement And Healing Oriented
7. Be Loyal
8. Be A Good Steward
9. Be Honest
10. Be Quietly Confident

Thanks.

Thank you for building this post around my BusinessWeek.com article, Dave. I really like how you’ve adapted my six rules to the world of social media. Well done!

I’m pro-ethics but anti-czars. Seriously, the use of that term indicates a lack of historical knowledge (and I’m not pointing fingers at you, Dave; that term has had this weird new usage for a while–but why did anyone pick it to begin with?).

Plus even with the new usage, it seems to me that our “czars” have responsibility but a lack of authority that makes it particularly difficult to accomplish nebulous tasks.

Great theme to take up Dave, and timely! All excellent points – but I get the feeling everyone reading this already knows right from wrong. The problem is how to reach those who don’t, or don’t care. I think the first point is the most helpful- and good on you for doing that.

Thanks for what’s quickly becoming an indispensible series of posts on ethics, Dave. I think one of the fundamental problems people have in understanding ethics, not just online but in general, is that ethical does not equal legal and vice versa. Don’t just ask yourself if you CAN do something, ask if you SHOULD. Conflict of interest is a good example. While not a matter of illegal or not, most people can (sometimes with some prodding) understand what constitutes an actual conflict of interest. However, the number of people who understand the dangers of APPARENT conflicts is depressingly less.

In regards to number’s 3 & 5, I find it useful to wait a few hours (or even a full day) before posting something after you write it. Granted, it’s REALLY tempting to post something right away, thus the instant gratification of blogging, but I find if you sit on it for a bit two things happen: (1) you remove unchecked scorn/praise, and (2) you usually go back and elaborate/improve on the post.
