Making a Difference by Speaking Out: Jeff Wigand Says Exactly What's on His Mind

摘要

When starting a career with a particular organization, few of us expect to be confronted with organizational wrongdoing. The typical individual probably thinks that the options available to someone confronted with organizational wrongdoing are clear-cut and the decision that must be made is relatively straightforward. Without being confronted with wrongdoing, an individual might anticipate that some kind of corrective action could be taken easily. One such action may be to confront the wrongdoers and attempt to stop the unacceptable behaviors. Or, perhaps, an individual could simply change employers. Even speaking out and exposing the wrongdoing might seem acceptable. Rarely are the options simple. Therefore, it is beneficial for us to study the ethical dilemmas individuals face and how they responded to them.
