Action Plan

Once you have completed the self-assessment questions, complete this action plan to

identify opportunities for improvement, taking into account your organizational role. To

monitor your progress, repeat this exercise yearly to help you assess whether you have

achieved your improvement objectives.

Steps:

Based on your responses, choose one action in each of the four points of the Ethical

Leadership compass (section I, II, III, or IV) to focus on this year.

Within this area, identify several concrete steps you will take to demonstrate your ethical

leadership and thereby improve your facility’s ethical environment.
