Event Description
PM Session – 2019 Illinois Public Pension Institute II
ETHICS AND ACCOUNTABILITY AT WORK (FOR PUBLIC SERVICE ORGANIzATIONS) (1:00PM - 4:40 PM)
Speaker: Peter Burchard, President, Peter Burchard, LLC

Description: Ethics is about how people think and act. Ethics is grounded in how we see ourselves and others. In other words, ethics is about people – starting with our own self-awareness.
Unfortunately, today’s familiar lessons and laws regarding ethics and workplace behavior, when taught and applied correctly, may actually impede the learning and morality required of elected officials, managers, employees, and the public. Further, to the extent that it can be understood and differentiated, public service ethics may necessitate personal sacrifice to act in the public interest. When it comes to acts of corruption, Peter suggests, the goal should not be rooting out the next Rita but in seeing the slippery slope that ordinary people unknowingly participate in.
In this content-rich framework, Peter discusses how to grow one’s own ethical competence. Participants will re-examine a truth they deeply know – that ethics is not found in polishing up one’s personality traits but in one’s daily grind of conversations, conflicts and decisions. This half-day session is presented in three parts with ten (10) primary learning objectives.
Learning Objectives: Participants completing this session will be able to:
Part I: Ethics and Personal Discovery:
- Understand how laws, codes and H.R. training obscures essential learning and philosophy.
- Learn about the history of morality and why Illinois’ many Henry the VIII’s continue to exist.
- Gain insight into developing principles of ethics. Cities on a Hill: Gomora and Light.
Part II: Administrative Evil and Breaking Bad:
- Explore the myth of why “good people” do bad things (when everyone is just ordinary).
- Understand why workplaces fall into ethical disarray (the slippery slope).
- Become aware of administrative Evil: Fear based silence and compliance.
Part III: Ethical Competence:
- Understand what is ethical competence?
- Learn how to create a moral strategy?
- Participate in an overview of laws and professional codes.
- Become familiar with how to build and sustain an ethically responsible self and workplace?
