Fort Osage Case Study

Improved Essays
When a Fort Osage school principal went above your authority and approached a board member to discuss the salary of another staff member, she crossed the line completely. She blind-sided you at a board meeting. Her actions were uncalled for and completely disrespectful. Over the past eight weeks I’ve developed a great deal of respect and admiration for your leadership. With that being said I could only image the conversation you had with that staff member. Firing her would have been justified but you choose not. Your conversation with her gave you assurances that she would never go above your authority again.
If the principal had no prior history of disrespect then I would of also kept her on staff. I believe that we all let our emotions get

    Ethics is the broad theme of ISLLC Standard 5. The activities related to this standard provided me with a means to reflect on my personal code of ethics, explore ethics from the perspective of a district official, and to hear others’ perspectives of ethics in the school organization. The first activity allowed me to interview Richard Stiverson, a school board member, regarding his code of ethics. The interview was insightful and did not veer far from what I consider to be ethical. With regard to this activity, I was able to grasp the notion that ethical behavior is paramount to building and maintaining trust in an organization.…
