(“Dictionary and Thesaurus – Merriam-Webster Online”, n.d.) When referencing servant leadership, integrity is a very important attribute. There are also supporting attributes to integrity. Some of those are communication, credibility, and influence. A hypothetical situation that demonstrates integrity would be as follows, a manager keeps an employee up to date on struggles the organization is experiencing with frequent meetings to inform the employees on the status of the organization. If the organizations struggles to meet their performance goals, and are struggling it is important for the employees to know. The consequences of the organization’s struggle could indicate future lay-offs. If this would occur, it is important that the employees understand this could be a possibility to give them an opportunity to look elsewhere for employment if the company continues to struggle. In this scenario, the manager would be viewed as using referent power. The leader is seen in a positive light and becomes transparent. I feel this is important in a leadership role as it enables the leader to be viewed as likable and trusted. The leader impact in a situation like this would be viewed…

I feel it is a person’s choice and it is different than suicide. It has to be well thought out and talked about with a team of people involved including physicians, psychologists, and family. I also think it is based more on the person’s quality of life and their decision or choice should be honored. It’s not the same as suicide caused by a mental illness. This is not a well thought out plan and does not occur with a team of people.…
The whistleblower poses no single entity, whether it being a single person or a business as a whole, to count itself immune to the dangers of corruption or malfeasance. Those who blow the whistle can neither risk the silencing of themselves for reasons of concrete evidence that question the proper moral and ethical interests of the public eye. According to Sissela Bok, “’Whistleblowing’ is a new label generated by our increased awareness of ethical conflicts encountered at work. Whistleblowers sound an alarm from within the very organization in which they work, aiming to spotlight neglect or abuses that threaten the public interest.” Take Frank Serpico, for example, a man whom was willing to risk his life, yet alone his career, to sound the alarm on the corruption within the very organization for which he worked for, the New York Police Department. Here in my discussion, we will examine and discuss Serpico’s case in correlation to the points made by Sissela Bok’s discussion on whistleblowing.…

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines integrity as, firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: incorruptibility; the quality or state of being complete or undivided. Although this is correct this isn’t exactly the complete meaning of this word. For every situation, every job, and every position this word “integrity” is defined differently. The position at which I am applying for is an Administrative Assistant, with this comes great responsibility, handling and having access to sensitive information any candidate must possess some level of morals and values. In my previous positions as a bank teller I’ve come in contact with highly valuable information from social security numbers to endless financial details not to mention large amounts of money. And I can attest to the fact that none of that irreplaceable information was ever mishandled or compromised, not just because it was my job or duty but out of respect not only for myself but for those that would be affected. If there isn’t one thing I’ve learned so far in life, I’ve learned that every decision made has a monopoly affect whether the outcome is good or bad. Integrity is having the ability to be selfless, being confident in yourself that you can make decisions that will not only affect you but staff, the company brand and customers.…

Throughout history law enforcement officers have been given the power and responsibility to use discretion while preforming their assigned duties. In early history, law enforcement officers were given a lot of discretion, where as now, they do not. Many laws have restricted officer discretion because of abuse. There are many different scenarios when and how an officer can use discretion and as well as how much discretion they are able to use, depending on the situation. Furthermore, in some cases for example, the use of traffic speed cameras or intersection cameras can issue tickets to unaware motorists where an actual police officer may be able to use discretion, common sense and reasoning before issuing a ticket. Discretionary decision-making is a part of officer’s duties each and every day that he or she has their uniform on. It is essential to allow officers the ability to make these kinds of decisions, but also restrict it as not to allow corruption or situations to get out of control. Officer discretion often comes under scrutiny because of unequal treatment by officers towards citizens.…

Honesty is such a huge thing when it comes to any workplace. If you cant be honest with your company then you don't deserve to have a job. When looking for employees, employers look for an honest person. Suppose Tim works for a convenience store. Tim's boss asks him to watch over the store for a few hours while he runs some errands. In this scenario, Tim is the employee (follower) and his boss is the employer (leader). Tim's boss expects TIm to be an honest employee and to make good decisions while hes out. If TIm's boss didn't think he was an honest eployee, he wouldn't have left him with the store by himself. So say Tim was in a money crisis.
