  16. Authoritarian Empowers oneself at the cost of the other. Self serving as one uses fear to get obedience. Must have power over others. Commands, does not invite. To command is to settle for behavior change. NO value change or understanding. Authoritative Empowers the other through service for the other. They are chosen by their peers, They don’t force themselves, but gain our trust. Invites, does not command. To invite is to recognize the value of the other. Power

  17. Business Should Focus on: Purpose: Why are we here? Mission: What do we do to fulfill our purpose? Values: How do we work together to fulfill our mission and accomplish our purpose?

  18. Ethical Considerations • On what foundation do we base our ethical decisions? • People make decisions based on the values they hold dear. • Ethical principles are not concerned with how things do operate, but with how they should operate!

  19. Ethical Considerations(continued) • The most difficult decisions to make, are those in which there is a conflict between two or more principles of which you deeply believe in. • It is important that we determine in advance what our priorities are, realizing that a lot will depend on the situation.
