Are you ever stuck in conflicts that seem unresolvable? Do you sometimes wonder about the cause of a conflict, but can’t put your finger on it? Do you ever avoid particular people because the interactions are unpleasant?
In most work environments, power dynamics are an issue we have to manage. Sometimes these dynamics are unseen and unspoken. At their best, power dynamics can be used to build productive relationships, influence others in positive ways, and interact with political savvy. At their worst, power dynamics can result in limited, black and white thinking, bullying and ultimatums in the workplace.

Passage to Answer the Question
What Is Ethics?
Ethics
is simply the principles of right and wrong and the morality of the choices involved.
Now, it's also important to define what ethics is
not
. Ethics is not emotions or religion. It's not science or norms of a society, necessarily. It's also not simply following the law, because it's perfectly acceptable to follow the law yet be an unethical person.

1b. Managerial Ethics
Managerial ethics
is simply ethics again. It is the principles of right and wrong and of the morality of the choices made in the context of
management
.
Managerial decisions impact employee behavior. How you hire or fire, the wages that you pay, or the working conditions at your business are all ethical decisions, and they can greatly impact employee attitudes and productivity.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.

Professional Ethical Codes
A professional code of ethics provides the employees with a set of guidelines they can use to
make good decisions in the workplace.
It allows you to set a baseline expectation for what is socially acceptable and how professionals
should approach problems.
Why is a code of ethics important?
A professional code of ethics is designed to ensure employees are behaving in a manner that
is socially acceptable and respectful of one another.
It establishes the rules for behavior and sends a message to every employee that universal
compliance is expected.
It also provides the groundwork for a pre-emptive warning if employees break the code.

Whistleblowing- A whistle-blower is a person who exposes any kind of information that reveals
illegal, unethical, or not correct activities within an organization that is either private or public.
Many whistle-blowers have stated that they were motivated to take action and put an end to
unethical practices after witnessing injustices in their businesses or organizations. In addition to
ethics, social and organizational pressures are also motivating forces.
Whistle-blowers have the right to file complaints that they believe give reasonable evidence of a
violation of a law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; gross waste of funds; an abuse of
authority and specific danger to public health or safety.
CSR- The term corporate social responsibility (CSR) refers to practices and policies

Conflicts of Interest
A conflict of interest occurs when an entity or individual becomes unreliable because of a clash
between personal (or self-serving) interests and professional duties or responsibilities. Such a
conflict occurs when a company or person has a vested interest—such as money, status,
knowledge, relationships, or reputation—which puts into question whether their actions,
judgment, and/or decision-making can be unbiased. When such a situation arises, the party is
usually asked to remove themselves, and it is often legally required of them.
Common Types of Conflicts of Interest
Self-Dealing: Self-dealing is the most common type of conflict of interest in the business
world. It occurs when a management-level professional accepts a transaction from
another organization that benefits the manager and harms the company or the company's
clients.
Gifting: Gift issuance is also a very common conflict of interest. It happens when a
corporate manager or officer accepts a gift from a client or a similar type of person.
Nepotism: Finally, the hiring of, or showing favorable workplace treatment to, a relative
or spouse—known as nepotism—can result in a potential conflict of interest.
Managing Boundaries and Multiple Relationships (Socializing with Current or Former
Clients, Making Referrals)
What are personal boundaries?
Personal boundaries are the physical, emotional and mental limits people use to protect
themselves from being drawn too much into their clients’ lives and from being manipulated or
violated by others.
They allow professionals to maintain psychological safety for themselves and their clients, and
make objective decisions about the therapeutic process to most effectively assist clients to
achieve their goals.
What are professional boundaries?
Professional boundaries are the legal, ethical and organisational frameworks that protect both
clients and employees, or workers, from physical and emotional harm, and help to maintain a
safe working environment. Sometimes we encounter challenging situations in our therapeutic
work, which can make maintaining these boundaries difficult. For example, if a client:
Offers you gifts
Invites you to a social function
Wants to extend your relationship beyond the service provided, e.g., be your friend
4. Socializing at a Work with Clients
Keep the conversation appropriate. Do not tell jokes at a party or gathering that one
would never tell in the office.
Discuss non-work topics. Aim to keep the conversation away from business. Get to
know the team – ask them about their hobbies, families, and interests.
Be a listener, not a talker. Most people feel special when someone really listens to what
they say. If you're the one doing all the talking, people may perceive you as selfish and
self-centred. So listen first, and talk second.
Relax... but not too much - Be yourself and have fun, but don't relax so much that you
say or do something you'll regret the next day.
Organizational Loyalty- The relationship between employee and employer is changing,
especially our understanding of commitment and loyalty. An ethical employee owes the
company a good day’s work and his or her best effort, whether the work is stimulating or dull. A
duty of loyalty and our best effort are our primary obligations as employees, but what they mean
can change.
A manager who expects a twentieth-century concept of loyalty in the twenty-first century may be
surprised when workers express a sense of entitlement, ask for a raise after six months, or leave
for a new job after twelve months.
