In-class Exercise #5 Ethics in Management The University of Winnipeg
Term Test Question #5 • As the protagonist in the case (“Nick Zane”) develop an action plan to address the situation in the specified case. • Be specific in terms of the sequence (order) of the actions you will take, what you will actually do, and if that involves communication with others, outline what you will actually say or write.
Action Planning caveat • The only person whose actions you can control in any situation is yourself. • Therefore, provide a contingency plan for at least one likely response / reaction of someone who may not agree with your approach. • i.e. Don’t assume that other parties in the situation will do whatever is necessary to make your problem go away.
Action Planning Criteria • Positive impact on the case situation both at the specific and at the systemic level. • Minimize the trade off among fundamental values and objectives that may be necessary. • Minimize “collateral damage” – avoidable negative consequences such as interpersonal friction, damaged reputations, loss of job or money, etc.
