evaluate the Case Study 4.1. In this case the human resource director at a regional bank has taken credit for the work of Monique, one of her young subordinates. Monique decides to confront the director. Think about this case of trust betrayal and upon how you would respond to similar incidents. You should think about strategies for coping with trust and betrayal based on the chapter concepts. You should also think about the importance of employing the ethical communication skills discussed in the chapter during this encounter. Monique needs to be mindful, listen, try to confirm the director and employ emotional intelligence. Ideally the director will do the same. After analyzing this encounter, prepare a memo to the bank’s President outlining your observations relative to the concepts presented in the chapter. Stay away from opinion and emotions and rely upon a discussion of the ethcs at play. You must cite your text book a minimum of 3 times.
In developing your response, consider the factors that are addressed in the Discussion Probes which follow the case. Note that you are not expected to answer the probes in Question and Answer form; nor are you encouraged to do so. Instead, use the probes as points of consideration as you develop your response.
Did you reach different resolutions based on the theory (approach) you used?
Were some perspectives more useful in resolving this issue than the others?
Would it have been more helpful to apply a variety of approaches in determining how to resolve the issue?
Did you provide your ethical analysis of the case (not your opinion and a summary of the case)?
Additional research is encouraged, but you should make sure to include proper citations and references in APA format. Remember to follow an appropriate business format and be advised grammar, punctuation, sentence structure, tone, and professionalism will be assessed, in addition to content. This is formal, business writing and the voice and tone should reflect this.
Revisions Allowed up to one week after grading date. All revisions must be highlighted for consideration.
