[HELP]

Today's Question :

What
would you say to your boss if hes crazy about an idea, but you think it
stinks?

TRAPS:[/b] This is another question that pits two
values, in this case loyalty and honesty, against one another.




BEST
ANSWER: [/b]Remember the rule stated earlier: In any conflict between values, always choose integrity.[/i]




Example:[/i] I believe that when evaluating anything, its
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[/i]. If he cant 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, lets do it my way, then I owe him my
full and enthusiastic support to make it work as best it can.
