Right Isn't Enough: Making Tough Decisions Ms Michelle Causton Fcga

Publisher Marketing: Sometimes, being right just isn't enough. We would all agree that it is right to be your child's advocate and to defend him or her from some of life's unpleasant realities. But isn't it also right to help your child learn to deal with, and accept, difficult situations? It's right to accept the judgement and authority of the person in charge. But it is also right to speak up when you believe the decision maker has made a serious mistake. How do you know when to be a whistle-blower and when to accept the decisions of others? Too often we only talk about ethics in light of someone else's bad behaviour. But ethical thinking is a very personal process that requires awareness. It is not about doing the right thing - it is about making thoughtful decisions and being able to accept the consequences. It is about understanding unexpected consequences and trying to minimize the effect. Some carefully thought out decisions can have bad outcomes. And some knee jerk reactions can work out just fine. "Right Isn't Enough" cannot guarantee good outcomes. But with practice it can help a decision maker feel more confident in their process. Identifying ethical dilemmas lurking in everyday decisions is the first step to better decision making. Developing a framework that will guide your thought process can result in fewer sleepless nights. Developed as a companion piece to the seminar of the same name, this little book is a must for anyone who wants to make mindful decisions in this increasingly complex world.
