Introduction

Leadership is often defined as the ability to influence people. An effective ethical leader guides an organization and its employees to accomplish organizational goals. In the same vein, an unethical leader can guide an organization and its employees to act unethically, harming both the organization and the stakeholders. Being a leader is an exploration, a reflection, and a test of your leadership values. Seeking understanding of how you resolve ethical dilemmas, taking inventory of where an ethical weakness may lie, and examining the traits of an ethical leader helps you define, shape, and apply an ethical decision-making framework, while also taking into consideration all stakeholders who may be affected by your decisions.

For this task, you will respond to an ethical situation as well as analyze the results of the Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI), which should be completed in the course. This task focuses on you as a leader by helping you to define, refine, and test your ethical boundaries through self-reflection and analysis.

Scenario

You are a sales representative for a medical device company that manufactures artificial joints. Your company has developed an artificial knee joint that is less expensive than the competition and will dramatically reduce healing time for patients. However, it is also known to produce a serious and potentially lethal infection in a small percentage of patients. The company refuses to disclose this potential side effect. You feel you have a duty to divulge this issue, but you signed a nondisclosure agreement when you were hired and worry about possible repercussions.
Requirements

Your submission must be your original work. No more than a combined total of 30% of the submission and no more than a 10% match to any one individual source can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. The similarity report that is provided when you submit your task can be used as a guide.

You must use the rubric to direct the creation of your submission because it provides detailed criteria that will be used to evaluate your work. Each requirement below may be evaluated by more than one rubric aspect. The rubric aspect titles may contain hyperlinks to relevant portions of the course.

Tasks may not be submitted as cloud links, such as links to Google Docs, Google Slides, OneDrive, etc., unless specified in the task requirements. All other submissions must be file types that are uploaded and submitted as attachments (e.g., .docx, .pdf, .ppt).

Is that quantitative or qualitative or mixed?
Why use that data type?
Where would you find this data?
How would you collect it?

Step 3

As part of our exploration of deviance, you are required to maintain a Reflection Journal throughout the course.

This journal will serve as a space for you to engage critically with the weekly content, connect it to current events, and express your personal thoughts and insights. Each entry should be at least 1 page long.

The format should be Times New Roman 12-point font, double spaced. Journal entries are due by midnight the Sunday night of each week. Submit your entries via Canvas.
Your journal will be graded based on the following:

Content Quality: Depth of analysis, relevance to course material, and connection to current events.
Engagement: Thoughtfulness and personal reflection on the topics discussed. Writing Quality: Clarity, coherence, organization, and adherence to the formatting guidelines.

Tips for Success:

Make connections between theories and real-world applications to demonstrate critical thinking.
Use specific examples from the course readings or discussions to support your reflections.
Don’t hesitate to express your own opinions and questions; this journal is a personal space for exploration.
Do not use AI in your reflections (this includes Grammarly). If the reflection is flagged for having AI content, you will receive a 0 on the assignment.
If you have any questions about the assignment or need clarification on any aspect, feel free to reach out! Happy reflecting!

Post any general course questions to this discussion forum. The instructors will be checking this forum regularly to ensure that all of your questions are answered. Students can feel free to respond here as well
