ETHICS AS ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
- We sometimes have to choose between what we think is right and what’s bestfor the company. Can you give an example of such a time and tell how you handled it?
- Can you describe your current employer’s ethics? Are there things you feel good about? bad about?
- Provide an example of an ethical decision you’ve made at work and tell how you handled it. What factors did you consider?
- Can you provide an example of some past work behavior that you’ve regretted? How would you behave differently today?
- Have you ever felt the need to exaggerate or bend the truth to make a sale?
- Have you ever observed someone else stretching the rules at work? What did you do, if anything?
- People are often tempted to make something seem better than it is. Have you ever been in such a situation?
- Have you ever had to go against company policies in order to accomplish something?
- Have you ever managed someone who misled a client? How did you handle it?
- What’s your philosophy of how to think about policies? Are they guidelines, to be followed to the letter?
