>> Our biggest area of failure is people who do not take their ethical responsibility seriously.
Always a difficult subject.
Less so for a lawyer, of course, because their behaviour is entirely governed by the law, but even then.... [as are my actions, usually]
One has to accept that in business one *will* lie. Everybody will.
Under what circumstances could a Chartered Surveyor need to resort to his ethics where the law and/or contract and/or agreement did not already determine how he most act?
Or do you believe that ethics should rise above those commitments/restrictions?
For me I think ethics only arise when there is somthing I could "get away with" even though it would be breaking the law/contract/agreement but I opt not to do it.
