  1.  In that chapter, the authors refer to the research of Rushworth Kidder, who identified four ethical dilemmas that are common to our personal and organizational experience, including three principles for resolving ethical dilemmas.
  2. Review the article Making Business Virtuous.
  3.  This exercise is an opportunity for you to deepen your understanding of this as well as future assignments.  
    1. Would a virtuous leader question the morality of an existing or potential law? 
    2. Would a virtuous leader hire a lobbyist to delay or kill costly but morally and ethically appropriate legislation?
    3. Would a virtuous leader violate virtuous principles, even if legal, when doing business in foreign countries?
    4. How is Servant Leadership related to Virtuous Business?

  1. Describe your personal experiences with one or more of the ethical dilemmas described by Kidder and how they were resolved or should have been resolved.
  2. How can an ethical and values-driven corporate culture influence the effective outcome of ethical dilemmas, and what is the leader’s responsibility in developing that culture? 
  3. Provide at least two citations from the “Making Business Virtuous” white paper which support your explanation.
