Leaders are often faced with tough decisions and must resolve ethical dilemmas. They think about the ends – what will be the possible result of each alternative? Hopefully, leaders also examine the means – what actions will be taken and how will they measure up against our values?

When you are pondering an ethical decision, there is one question that can be a guiding light in the darkness. Would I want my decision to appear on the front page of the newspaper or be posted prominently in the public arena?

Re-think choices that you would not want to showcase on Facebook or to be re-tweeted in perpetuity. It’s said that whatever is posted on social media lives forever. The consequences of your choices do as well.
