Professional Practice as Leaders
• Demonstrates Character, Competence & Commitment– Ethical Leadership / Climate– Technical Expertise– Demonstrates “right” behavior IAW Army Ethic (e.g. Army Values) – Achieves and Inspires
• Exercises discretionary judgment– The art of the Army professional is to exercise discretionary
judgments that often carry with them moral implications or consequences and will affect many lives
– A.k.a. Ethical Decision-making

Exercising Discretionary Judgment
Based on his/her expert knowledge (technical and moral/ethical)... An Army Professional who is facing a new situation or task… Classifies the task (estimate/diagnosis), reasons about it (inferring
from abstract knowledge applicable to the new task/situation), and then acts on it (execution/action).
Follows the action, evaluating it for effectiveness and compliance with the Ethic, and ultimately, as required, makes adaptations to...
The profession’s body of expert knowledge and its jurisdiction of expert work.
The “practice”… the repetitive exercise of discretionary judgment, action, and follow-up… all decisions with high moral/ethical content

Ethical Reasoning (ADRP 6-22)
Ethical reasoning is complex in practice. By embracing the Army Values to govern personal actions, developing an understanding of regulations and orders, learning from experiences, and applying ethical reasoning, leaders will be better prepared to face tough decisions.
Ethical choices may be between right and wrong, shades of gray, or two rights. Leaders use multiple perspectives to think about ethical concerns, applying three perspectives to determine the most ethical choice (next slide).

Using the “Ethical Perspectives”
Are there agreed-upon Rules / Values that apply to the Course of Action (CoA)? Aspects of the Army’s Professional Ethic? Know the difference between guidance and orders.
Think of and compare possible Outcomes for the CoA. A CoA benefitting the greatest number of affected persons may be the best solution.
Finally, look at the COA in light of Virtues. COAs that seem to be applicable to a situation but can not be reconciled with desirable Virtues are suspect for leading to moral/ethical error.
