The Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI) is a personal evaluation tool that helps individuals assess their values and impact professional, ethical situations. Understanding this value is necessary because it highlights how individuals react to ethical situations and how they can work with other individuals with different values. Attached (Appendix 1) is a summary of the ELI survey outcomes. The outcomes suggest that the Relationship (Intense Rationality and Mild Equality – IRME) Lens is my preferred ethical lens.
Professional Ethics Statement
In a snap, I think my work-life values encompass integrity, trustworthiness, adaptability, responsibility, and dependability. Integrity and trustworthiness are essential because they lead to honest and professional relationships within work environments. I find adaptability vital because it enables me to work in different environments and diverse teams. Dependability implies that team members can rely on me to take responsibility for my share of work and offer support. Taking responsibility is what makes an individual dependable. I intend to harness the power of these values to navigate the professional journey. It will also assist in maintaining good relationships with my professional acquaintances. For instance, integrity and trustworthiness boosts self-confidence, which makes me bold and candid in diverse environments. Dependability and responsibility is also vital in lobbying for support from colleagues. I am always willing to acknowledge my shortcomings and expect other to do the same.
