This case is part of the Giving Voice to Values (GVV) curriculum. To see other material in the GVV curriculum, please visit http://store.darden.virginia.edu/giving-voice-to-values. In this case, the director of human resources for a financial advisory firm learns that the CEO of the firm is using his power and his position for personal gain, engaging in actions that cross the line of acceptable ethical and legal behavior. This case deals with issues of conflicting loyalties, individual and organizational reputations, reporting a superior, abuse of power, stakeholder relationships, and short-term versus long-term implications. It works well in organizational behavior, leadership, and ethics courses, as well as in stand-alone workshops.
