Study Notes
Ethics and Intervention Strategies
- No one will lend money if there's no intention to pay it back, making money-lending self-contradictory and immoral.
Utilitarianism
- UTILITARIANISM = CONSEQUENTIALISM, evaluating right and wrong based on results.
- ↑ BENEFIT/HAPPINESS = RIGHT, ↓ benefit (harm) = wrong.
- COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS is a systematic approach to estimating strengths and weaknesses, but utilitarianism surpasses this approach with the principle of GREATEST HAPPINESS for the GREATEST NUMBER, also known as THE COMMON GOOD APPROACH.
Intervention Strategies
- The point of Nielsen's article is to provide tools for intervention as an individual.
- According to Tillich, the courage to be as an individual is to follow one's conscience and defy unethical and/or unreasonable authority, even if it means staging a revolutionary attack.
Limitations of Intervention
- The individual can be wrong about the organization's actions, due to lack of information and experience.
- Relationships can be damaged when forcing change, straining relationships, and potentially strengthening them if justified.
- The organization can be hurt unnecessarily if the individual is wrong or right, but the action is misguided.
- Intervention strategies can encourage "might makes right" climates, promoting force over self-restraint and leading to a culture of force within the organization.
Leadership Styles
- Yoshino and Lifson compare Japanese and American leadership styles:
- American leaders are often seen as trailblazers, inspiring awe and respect.
- Japanese leaders are more of communications channels, mediators, facilitators, and symbols of group unity, building consensus and using relationships to achieve collective goals.
