TRAPS: This
is another question that pits two values, in this case loyalty and honesty,
against one another.
BEST ANSWER:
Remember the rule stated earlier: In any conflict between values, always choose
integrity.
Example: I believe that when evaluating anything, it’s
important to emphasize the positive.
What do I like about this idea?”
“Then, if
you have reservations, I certainly want to point them out, as specifically,
objectively and factually as I can.”
“After all,
the most important thing I owe my boss is honesty. If he can’t count on me for that, then
everything else I may do or say could be questionable in his eyes.”
“But I also
want to express my thoughts in a constructive way. So my goal in this case would be to see if my
boss and I could make his idea even stronger and more appealing, so that it
effectively overcomes any initial reservation I or others may have about it.”
“Of course,
if he overrules me and says, ‘no, let’s do it my way,’ then I owe him my full
and enthusiastic support to make it work as best it can.”
