Telling the truth about why you’re cancelling is the best way to deal with this situation. Telling a white lie about why you’re cancelling is preferable to hurting someone’s feelings. Question Title * 6. Your best friend, a partner in a prosperous banking firm, comes to town a few times a year. He insists on taking you out to dinner on his company’s expense account, even though no business is discussed, saying that his firm knows of the practice and does not object. You let him pay. I have done this or would likely do this if the situation comes up again. I have not done this and would likely not do this if the situation comes up. Question Title * 7. At a dinner party, someone asks your views on the Presidential race in front of all the guests. Because of your strong views and the presence of those with equally strong and directly opposing views, you expect you will spark a sharp debate, possibly disrupt the party, and upset the host, so you decline the invitation to express your opinion. Respect for the host requires that I refrain from expressing my views. I would reach out to the questioner after the party and answer his questions. Honesty demands that I explain my views when directly asked. Question Title * 8. You own a stock portfolio managed by a broker in whom you have confidence, so you let her make the investment decisions she deems best for you. You never check whether any of the companies in which you hold stock engage in environmental, employment, or other practices you oppose. Integrity requires that investments be made with social and political beliefs in mind. Integrity does not require that investments be made with social and political beliefs in mind. Question Title * 9. After repeated attempts to lose weight, you are now fiercely determined to succeed, and you swear to yourself that you will stick with this diet. You make a good start, but after a few days you begin to lapse. A few days later you abandon the diet. Abandoning a diet after committing to stick with it shows a lack of integrity. It’s nobody’s business but my own. Question Title * 10. A big meeting is coming up tomorrow at work. Due to the demands on your time, you’ve waited until the night before to prepare, but you remember you promised your teenage daughter that you will attend her basketball game that night. You apologize profusely to your daughter, sincerely promising to make it up to her, then work late that night to prepare for the meeting. You have done everything to resolve this situation properly. You have not done everything to resolve this situation properly. Question Title * 11. Your boss tells you that a layoff of a close coworker is imminent and swears you to secrecy. You know that the coworker is about to commit to a huge mortgage he cannot afford if laid off. You take him aside and try to get him to question the timing of the mortgage through hints about the general uncertainty at work. That is a good way to resolve the situation. I would not do this because it breaks my promise of confidentiality to the boss. I would not do this. I would directly tell my co-worker of the imminent layoff affecting him.
