Professional responsibilities in conflict with our deepest values Conflict between right and right
o o o
Go with their gut? Talk it over ? Think and do what a mentor would do?
An ethical decision involves choosing between two options-one we know to be right and other to be wrong A defining moment chooses between two or more ideals in which we deeply believe
Form, reveal and test Refocus on the core values and principles Transform values and beliefs into calculated action Strong identity based on own and not on someone else’s understanding of what is right
Three types of defining moments are particularly common in organizations:
Who am I? Who are we? Who is the company?
Issue of personal identity that has serious implications for our career
Who is Steve Lewis? ◦ An African-American working for a well known investment bank in Manhattan ◦ A former athlete and a Team player
What is the situation? ◦ Steve was selected over more senior people to give presentation to an important client ◦ He knew little about the situation ◦ Was included because state treasurer was a black and wants at least one black in the meeting
• To maintain his selfrespect he has to ‘earn‘ his advancement at the company • He did not want to become a token member
He is a team player and does not believe in letting his teammates down
•Look
at the problem in of feelings and intuitions, which values and responsibility are more deeply rooted in one’s life. •On the one hand ,Steve wanted to be a partner at his investment firm. •On the other considering his African-American background, he considered his parents example. •He decided to look at the incident as an African – American, his race being a much integral part of his moral being than his profession.
How did he combine idealism with realism?
He decided not go to the meeting just as Token Black, requested for a role in presentation. His superior agreed reluctantly as there was some technical part in the presentation which Steve knew. He worked hard for the day on presentation and did well in the 12 minutes he had. So Steve soundly handled the situation by going through his intuition and feelings.
Another dimension for managers as they move up in the organization : the values of their work group and their responsibilities to the people they manage
Who is Peter Adario? ◦ Head of marketing department of Sayer Microworld, a distributer of computer products ◦ Married and had three children
What is the situation? ◦ Adario hires Mcneil, a single mother who is qualified and competent ◦ The company is in a middle of finishing a merger ◦ Her superwiser Walter ambitious, hard-driving woman ◦ Mcneil chronic lateness and unpredictable work schedule due to her being a single mother
Peter believed that his employees need time for their family against their duties to the department’s bottom line. He himself was a father The employee was competent and hardworking Should he fire her?
For men and women charged with running the entire companies Manifestation of what is right on the large stage(for ex. that includes labor unions, media, stakeholders etc)
Who is Sakiz? ◦ CEO of Roussel Uclaf, a French pharmaceutical company ◦ He has to decide whether to market a new drug RU486 meant for abortion
Anti-abortion groups outraged Parent company Hoechst opposed the drug because of threats of boycot Uclaf had the responsibility of protecting job and security of his employees
Sakiz was a physician with a long standing commitment to RU-486 It would secure the women’s right on abortion and save them from unsafe abortions It could specially help women in the poor countries How could he protect his own interest and those of his employees and still introduce the drug?
Sakiz called for a board room discussion which opposed the introduction of the drug and so he consented When the company announced its decision there was opposition from various groups including the french government. The company then announced the reversal of its initial decision and launched the antiabortion drug into the market.
Defining moments force us to find a balance between our hearts in all idealism and our jobs in all there messy reality They are not merely intellectual exercises but are opportunities for inspired action and personal growth
