2. If Sherron Watkins had blown the whistle to the Houston Chronicle and not to Enron's CEO Ken Lay, do you think she would have kept her job at Enron?
3. Research a story of whistleblowing. Relate what "your" whistleblower did with the seven steps recommended in the chapter. What have you learned from the comparison?
4. Do you think that "paying" whistleblowers encourages people to look for ethical misdeeds or to "game up" ethical misdeeds?
