Question 2
Question is meant to be a demonstration of your understanding of the concepts and theories associated with leadership power,
The scenario: You are the leader of a cross functional team and you have managed to build solid relationships with every member. One of your team members, both the youngest and the newest employee, has asked you for some advice about a non-team related situation. It seems that a customer that he has been working with wants to give him and his manager (and their spouses) an almost all expenses paid weekend getaway, in appreciation for the excellent work they have just completed for the customer. Your company's policy is clear about not excepting monetary gifts, but has been fairly lenient about employees accepting merchandise gifts with customer logos. You get the impression that your team member has been hesitant to commit and now his manager is pressuring him to accept; arguing that it is not a monetary gift, that the customer will be insulted if they refuse to accept and it could harm future relations, and that because it is a weekend no one in the organization needs to know what employees do on their own time. Your team member is clearly distressed and is asking you whet he should do.
Explain what advice would give your team member, and which ethical Principles you have based it upon.
