- Synopsis
- Positions of power carry complicated responsibilities. On some occasions, these responsibilities conflict with each other. At other times, they conflict with a manager's personal values. All of these responsibilities, personal and professional, have strong moral claims, but often there is no way for a manager to meet every claim. These are not the ethical issues of right and wrong that we learn about as children. They are conflicts of right versus right. The right-versus-right choices that managers are forced to make become defining moments, and this chapter presents some important questions for thoughtful managers to ask themselves: Do you think you can govern innocently? How do you think about defining moments? How do you resolve them in ways you can live with? This chapter is excerpted from "Defining Moments: When Managers Must Choose between Right and Right."
