Ethical Competence

Ethical Competence

Ethical competence is essential in every profession. An ethically, competent individual can differentiate right from wrong. Ethical competence runs important along all professional disciplines. The study on Kotter’s change model has employed a wide adherence to ethical competence in coming up with the conclusions. The recommendations and findings in the study are ethical because the interests of other people are prioritized. Kotter’s change model involves considering the emotions of people to invoke positive change in the minds of them.

The eight steps of Kotter’s change model are based on ethical consideration. First, the model acknowledges the need of the group to know the basics of the problem being addressed (Hughes, 2015). Therefore, the first stage of Kotter’s change model is to sensitize about the existence of the problem and the need for change. Generally, ethics require that an individual should be selfless to the extent of taking care of other people’s interests.

The other ethical action is becoming an executive member in the guiding coalition. The guiding coalition comprises of leaders sharing the same mentality of change. Therefore, I am in a position to push for change from a position of building momentum for the whole process. Moreover, a vision and strategy are developed to motivate staff in the whole process of a quality change plan. Generally, the ethical responsibility in the study is that a distinction should be made between what is good and bad for the organization.

In sum, Kotter’s change model involves considering the emotions of people to invoke positive change in the minds of them. Ethics require that an individual should be selfless to the extent of taking care of other people’s interests. Generally, the ethical responsibility in the study is that a distinction should be made between what is good and bad for the organization.
