Today I picked up the chapter on "Professional responsibility" from the book Head First PMP. Just before the exam questions for this chapter, there was a note:
Now, go read the PMP Code of Professional Conduct before you take these exam questions.Puhleease... do you know what time it is? So ignoring the advise, I went straight to the questions... and bingo! Nailed them all... just like the angel says...
It's interesting that all the answers to questions on ethics and professional responsibility are actually pretty easy to answer. The option that looks most ideal (and among the least popular with the masses :-p) is always the right choice.
I believe these questions would be easy to answer for pretty much everyone. But we still see cases of unethical behaviour all the time in all industries. The understanding of correct responses to ethical questions that arise in life already prevails among the masses, but when people actually face such situations they are often unable to act ethically. The idea of acting ethically is sometimes not built in our subconscious as strongly as our responses to fire or other dangers. In spite of the fact that acting unethically may lead us to an equally or more dangerous situation.
