The project team is going to need to take leadership and direction from both the project manager and the business analyst. We hope the project manager is a great, ethical leader. If not, you probably should do yourself, the customer and the team a favor and take him to task on it. If problems persist, go to his manager. But you, as the business analyst and co-project lead of sorts, have a responsibility to the team, customer and management to practice ethical project leadership behavior as well. So lead by example – always. Be above and beyond reproach – especially during team and client meetings and in front of these individuals on a daily and weekly basis.
Follow through on your work and project commitments, and practice honesty. Don't say bad things about others or the client behind their backs no matter what you might be thinking. It doesn't need to be spoken. The project needs action not gossip. If you see something going on that is less than ethical or even illegal, consider yourself to be somewhat of a “mandatory reporter” and take it higher up in order to get action and not harm the project.
