1. Deal with Ethical Issues

Acting ethically - or not - can make or break a career. Your professional reputation is inextricably linked to your moral and ethical judgments that are constantly being scrutinised by stakeholders. When it comes to ethics, there is no hiding or resiling from your decisions.

Calibrate your moral compass and make sure that unethical dealings are always, always brought out into the open so that your organisation can deal with them. And never, ever find yourself in a position where your integrity is compromised or seen to be compromised.

Fortunately, Engineers Australia has a Code of Ethics to help your navigate this minefield. Make sure you use it!
