Big Boss calls you into his office and gives you the quarterly revenue number he wants you to report.\u00a0 He tells you \u201cthis is the number, now go make it happen.\u201d What options do you have here and what consequences are you willing to accept in this situation? \u00a0<\/em>-e-Factor!\u00ae scenario<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever been told, \u201chere\u2019s the number, now go make it happen?\u201d This is a real-life scenario that anyone in business could face. I\u2019ve faced it myself. In the heat of the moment, do we know how to respond?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s analyze this situation to see what choices \u2013 and potential consequences \u2013 we have available to us.\u00a0 First, let\u2019s identify the ethics issues here.\u00a0 The scenario does not offer much detail, but the implication is clear: Big Boss has a number in mind.\u00a0 Under what circumstances would this be an acceptable request? If we received direction for sales goals, production targets or the purchase price for a particular item, this would be fantastic communication, right?\u00a0 If the number the boss wants to report is close to the actual financial result achieved, the request might even be reasonable.\u00a0 Perhaps the boss has information we did not have access to and wants us to make corrections.\u00a0 Still, no ethics issue here. However, if Big Boss\u2019 number is nowhere close to the actual result, we have a conflict.<\/p>\n
