How does ODS address ethical decision-making?

The course addresses ethical decision-making primarily through case studies and discussions on moral dilemmas in leadership. This approach allows participants to engage deeply with real-world scenarios that they may encounter in their roles, fostering critical thinking and providing insight into the complexities of ethical choices. By analyzing various situations and discussing different perspectives, students can better understand the implications of their decisions on their teams, their organizations, and the broader community.

This method enhances the learning experience by encouraging interactive discussions, collaboration, and peer feedback, which are essential for developing nuanced ethical reasoning. Understanding the intricacies of leadership in ethical contexts prepares officers to navigate challenging situations more adeptly in their professional environments. In contrast, while simulation exercises, a code of conduct, and individual assessments all play roles in an overall training program, the focus on case studies and moral dilemmas specifically enhances the practical application of ethical theories in leadership.
