Ethical decision making is an important component of leadership and management in organizations, as it helps individuals navigate multifaceted, morally challenging situations. This paper discusses key concepts, theories, and models related to ethical decision making, as derived from the assigned chapters, articles, and videos. The focus is on understanding how these ideas can be applied to organizations, using my own work experience as an example. Content/Critical Thinking Analysis Several key concepts, philosophies, and models emerge from the assigned resources, including moral sensitivity, ethical principles, moral perceptive, and ethical decision-making frameworks. Firstly, moral sensitivity involves recognizing the ethical implications of various situations and considering the potential consequences of different actions (Rest, 1986).
