¶ … Ethical Dilemma

If I were the employee, I would call in sick. Ethically, I suppose the company could say that I was not sick, but with a one-year-old with a broken arm, it seems that the first consideration should be the child. It is important to take care of Jaynee, especially if she is traumatized by the accident. Not staying home could actually make her reaction worse if she continues to be upset by the accident, which could actually cause the need to take more time off, rather than just one day. I think the family is the most important consideration, and that calling in sick is morally the right thing to do for the child's sake. It will go against the work group, and that is not good, but I believe family should come first in emergencies, and this is an emergency.

Jason is clearly the main leader of the group, and he exhibits behaviors such as keeping the team on task and focused, managing the time effectively, and delegating some of the presentation to other members. Bill is attempting to lead by causing friction between the members and drawing attention to himself, while Erika clearly wants to lead and take over some of the leadership role if she can. Victoria seems to be dominated by the rest of the group, and does not demonstrate any leadership characteristics, in fact, she allows herself to be relegated to the background. Bill may think he is a leader, but he is too self-centered and rude to actually lead the group. He interrupts, does not pay attention, and is rude to other team members. Jensen also tends to lead. He praises others in the group, and essentially gives Erika the assignment to work on effective procedures in other companies, so he seems to know more about some of the activities of the group than Jason does. It is interesting that all the men attempt to take or take leadership roles, while the women are less aggressive. Erika does contribute and jump in, but Victoria simply shuts down when she is criticized, and Erika does not say she has done the research, Jensen brings it up. Essentially, Jason is the leader, but he does not command the lead, he can allow others to take command, too.

On the other hand, given the later implications, the evil force that the Soviet Union came
