C206 Task 1 Ethical Leadership and Personal Values Reflections | Accurate & Verified Answers to
Pass Actual Exam
A1. The leader I feel has exhibited ethical conduct is my current manager, Melanie. She is a very
transparent leader, leading with transparency in emotion and process. This is an ethical trait to me
because transparency helps build trust in relationships. I know that if any dilemmas come up, I can
rely on her to guide me in the most transparent way.
She is also a very compassionate leader, showing compassion towards us for our struggles
as a team and our challenges as individuals. She encourages the same honesty and transparency
with us, allowing us to share our emotions in a safe space free of retaliation. This is an ethical trait to
me because this impacts team morale and shapes my approach towards my peers and my
company. When I feel cared for, I am going to thrive and strive in a company.
A2. My company is currently going through a change, we are being sold to the highest bidder, and it
has been a time of much uncertainty. There are always rumors going around, people moving,
processes moving, a lot of change all around and very little answers. Melanie has always been
transparent with me and the team, providing us with the information she has as soon as she hears
updates. She is transparent in her emotions, letting us know she has all the same feeling we do –
anxiousness, nervousness, fear of the unknown – and allows us to see the human side of her.
Melanie has shown great compassion multiple times, but specially showed compassion to me
when I had to be out of work due to a last-minute change in my childcare routine. I had just joined
the team and my childcare switched up randomly. I was stressed out about the issue happening at
home – I needed to find new childcare ASAP, but I also needed to take a week off work while I
figured it out - and I was nervous about the first impression I was going to make as a new member of
the team. Melanie was very understanding and very accommodating, requesting that I just keep her
communicated of my situation so she understood where I was in the planning process and if there
was anything she could do to help. She accommodated my schedule, so it better fit arounds my kids
needs and never once made me feel guilty for having life happen to me.
B.
Deontological – This approach suggests we want to be guided by duties, values or principles. This
means that in this scenario, it is our duty to make users and patients aware of the risk they face,
and the gravity of said risk, if they chose to purchase our product. A deontological perspective
would approach this by “whistleblowing” and making this information known to the public.
Consequentialist – This approach suggest we want to an analysis or mental calculation of the pros
and cons of our actions. With keeping stakeholder impact in mind, the best course of action is to
make this information public. If there are serious and lethal infections caused by this product, the
consequences would be astronomical – resulting in potential lawsuits and mistrust from the
public in this and future products.
C.
• Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
Postconventional – This scenario presents an ethical principle of justice and right, acting
according to those principles when the law goes against them.
• If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
Conventional – This scenario represents someone upholding laws but questioning them in
extreme cases where they conflict with ethical principles.
• Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
Postconventional – this scenario refers to thought process beyond just upholding the law and
reconsidering what the right thing to do is, based on a set of ethics/principles.
• What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
Preconventional – This scenario reflects obedience to authority with no question for social justice
or rights. Following the rules just because there are rules to be followed.
• If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
