Why Some People Have It and Others Don’t
Answer one of these two question and reply three people’s answer
Option A:
Reflect on the leadership and power readings. In the summary of Pfeffer’s book Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don’t, Loescher states, “However, in reality, performance is not the key to success–power is.” In the context of this summary, what is meant by this quote? Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Option B:
Reflect on the ethics and authenticity in the workplace readings.
Describe and discuss the idea of the “want self” and “should self” presented in the reading Blind Spots. When does each “self” dominate in decision making?
Describe and discuss the concepts of “ethical fading” and “motivated blindness” presented in Blind Spots.
How do ethical fading and motivated blindness relate to or differ from the concept of “moral disengagement” presented in Moore (2008)?
