What would you do?
What would others do?
Values underlying choice
You have lost faith in the
organization and its aims
and yet you feel that you
would be unable to find a
job that would offer similar
financial rewards.
You have strong views about
pollution. You know that the
organization is adding
considerable to pollution in
their locality and that senior
management brushes aside
any suggestions that it
should be more
“community-minded.”
Another manager has
confided to you that he will
be leaving in a year’s time,
but he wishes this to remain
undisclosed. He has told you
this secret in confidence.
Both you and he know that
his promotion is imminent
and that it is crucial to the
firm’s future plans.
You have the opportunity to
off a job to a friend who
really needs it. Although you
believe that the friend could
perform adequately, there
are others, more highly
qualified applicants.
You believe that women are
not given a fair chance of
promotion. You wish to
promote a woman
subordinate but you know
that this will be strongly
resisted by senior mgmt.
You believe the organization
is insufficiently open about
its values, but there is a
reluctance to discuss value
related issues.
