Kidder’s Ethical Decision Making Process
1. Recognize that there is a problem.
2. Decide who is responsible.
3. Gather the relevant facts.
4. Test for right-versus-wrong issues.
5. Test for right-versus-right values.
6. Apply the ethical standards/perspectives.
7. Look for a third way.
8. Make a decision.
9. Look back at the decision and think about how
it could have been done differently.

Decision-Making
Principles
Dilemma
Paradigms
Ends-based Thinking
(greatest good for the
greatest number…cost benefit
analysis…forecasting outcomes)
Rule-based Thinking (follow what you want
everyone else to follow…fixed
rules…stick to principles and let
the consequential chips fall
where they may)
Care-based Thinking
(putting care for others first…do
to others what you would like
them to do to you)
Truth versus Loyalty (honesty or integrity versus
commitment, responsibility, or
promise keeping)
Individual versus Community (us versus them, self versus others, or
the smaller versus the larger group)
Short-term versus Long-term
(now versus then, immediate needs
or desires versus future goals or
prospects)
Justice versus Mercy (Fairness, equity, and even-handed
application versus compassion,
empathy, and love)

Trust
“You must earn the right to lead
others…this comes as a result of your
care and building of trust with
others.”
Jason Barger, 2012

What does trust look like? Attitudes & Behaviors
• Trust involves optimistic expectations…believing the other party will carry through on promises.
• Put themselves in a vulnerable position…they depend on
the behavior of others and have much to lose if these
individuals break their commitment.
• Trust is willingly offered. Those entering into trust
relationships hope to increase cooperation and
generate benefits, not only for themselves, but also for the group as a whole.
• Trust imposes an obligation or duty to protect
the rights and interests of others.
• Trust is hard to enforce.

Ethic of Trust
• Think of someone who you need to
work with where the trust as been
strained.
• Why is the trust strained? What has
“happened.”
• What are the implications of your
resulting behavior with them?
Their behavior with you?

When we experience betrayal
• Acknowledge what
happened.
• Allow feelings to surface
• Get support from others
• Reframe - What can you
learn from the experience
• Take responsibility if you
had a role (unintentional
or intentional)
• Forgive yourself and others
• Let go and move on
