you up to his tax consultant who has worked out a way to avoid the tax he has
to pay on his earnings, which your business partner says he would rather put in

b. Professional ethics

Case Study:
Aden works for a marketing firm in Cape Town, South Africa. He has worked for
the company for over 10 years and is exceptionally talented at his job. He has
recently been promoted and now runs the marketing team for several the
company’s largest clients. Aden is a very direct individual and is extremely
comfortable giving feedback even unsolicited. During every team meeting,
Aden is quick to shut down ideas and is known for giving harsh personal
feedback during his teams’ presentations. Although he is one of the most
tenured, no one goes to him for help or advice because they fear he will use it
as an opportunity to point out every professional and personal flaw.
Since Aden was promoted to leading the marketing team, employee morale and
productivity have dropped significantly.
It would seem as if the organisation which hired Aden seemed to be smart as
they hired an exceptionally talented individual.
What do you think the organisation got wrong when they promoted Aden?
a. The organisation was not aware that Aden's personality would
negatively affect the team's morale.
b. The organisation did not make the connection between personality and
behaviour.
c. All of these.
d. The organisation hired Aden based on a past experience with him.
