Ethical Leadership: Task 1 Analysis and Reflection
BMAL 770 - Ethical Leadership
Liberty University
A. Nonfictional Leader
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.

If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is

D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.

method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate

would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must

me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.

separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results

Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.

In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.

I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.

This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.

This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?

whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI

themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.

situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
E. See Attached ELI Results
The (nonfictional) ethical leader I have chosen is one of my previous managers, Gary
Morrison. I reported to him for several years, while I worked for a transportation company
that delivered pharmaceuticals and the Covid vaccines.
Al. Two Ethical Traits
The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.

The first ethical trait Gary exhibited was integrity. He was always honest with his
subordinates and peers, even if the message was negative or resulted in making himself
"look bad". He did not make excuses or push blame. He never wavered from his principles.
The second ethical trait Gary exhibited was team was trust. Since each of us had our own
separate teams to manage, he trusted us to make the best decisions for our respective
teams. He was there to support us, but he did not micromanage or second guess our
decisions.
A2. Ethical Conduct Exhibited by Leader
Gary possessed numerous ethical traits. Together, these made him a great ethical leader.
He was always willing to do what is right by all parties in a given situation. There were many
times when our team needed to represent at another location, work a weekend shift, or
cover other teams. Gary always approached this type of situation with an ethical lens. He
always made the fair and equitable choice.
B. Deontological and Consequential Perspectives
The deontological perspective of ethics focuses on judging the moral value of the actions
themselves instead of the results. The consequential perspective focuses on the moral value
of the results of the action.
In the scenario, one adhering to the deontological perspective would indicate that we must
abide by the NDA, as it is moral to honor the principles and guidelines. This indicates one
values the action itself and not the result of the action. Adversely, one adhering to the
consequential perspective would break the NDA and disclose the side effects. One's morals
would be upheld since they are valuing the results of the action instead of the action itself.
C. Cognitive Moral Development
Which action would most likely serve the greater good in society?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the greater good and not the individual.
If I reveal this information, will I get into trouble and possibly even lose my job?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it focuses on the individual and what would happen to only them.
Which action best aligns with my long-held belief in the principle of justice?
This question is an example of post-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it follows ethical justice when laws violate personal principles.
What do the laws say, and what would a law-abiding citizen do?
This question is an example of conventional cognitive moral development. This is because it
focuses on the existing rules and laws and how they fit into society/social construct.
If I keep quiet, will I get some sort of reward?
This question is an example of pre-conventional cognitive moral development. This is
because it is ego-centric and focuses only on the individual's personal interest.
D1. Preferred Ethical Lens
After taking the ELI assessment, it determined my preferred ethical lens is the Reputation
Lens. Two of the key words it used in the synopsis were sensibility and equality. I listen to
my feelings to determine what virtues I should develop to demonstrate ethical excellence in
community.
Dla. Analysis of Preferred Lens
In general, I do feel that my preferred lens is Reputation in any situation. I would probably
say in a school setting, my lens would probably lean more towards the Results Lens. In
personal setting, especial social settings, I would lean more toward the Relationship Lens.
Overall, I do believe the ELI provided a fairly accurate depiction.
D2. Primary and Classical Virtue
One primary value from my ELI was sensibility. The ELI indicated I had a considered
preference for it. This is likely true for me, especially in social settings. I tend to follow my
emotions and passions in these situations.
One classical virtue from my ELI was fortitude. The ELI describes this as bearing hardship and
uncertainty with courage. I think the ELI got this one right too. I tend to stay strong in tough
situations and take them as they come.
D2a. Primary Value and Classic Virtue
My primary value from the ELI was sensibility. My self-identified value is compassion. I
believe these two values pair together nicely. While I let my emotions and passions guide
me, I also do this with regards to others. I am always looking to align passions with others,
share in their happiness (and sadness).
My classic virtue from the ELI was fortitude. My self-identified value is teamwork. At first,
these did not seem to go together. But once I thought more about it, I think my fortitude is
sometimes a biproduct of my teamwork. Having the ability to lean on my team allows me to
stay strong and push through many hardships.
D3. Describe my Vice from ELI
The ELI indicated since I had a preference for sensibility, I could fall prey to the vice of
arrogance. I could certainly see this in a work setting, because I do collaborate with many
others and help many others out. This often leads me to believe I deserve something more,
whether it be a raise, bonus, or other perks.
D3a. Two Steps to Mitigate
The first step to mitigate falling prey to the vice of arrogance is to spend more time with my
mentor(s). They have a way of keeping me grounded and 'calling me out on my BS'. This is a
method I have used for decades and have found it to be helpful. There have been several
times I have talked about "sticking it to the man" for not giving me what I want. My mentor
has been there to guide me back to my path
The second step to mitigate falling prey to my vice is to step back and take a holistic
approach. I think of or write down my short- and long-term goals. From there I ask myself 'is
it really worth it to ruffle feathers to get this little thing that I want and feel I deserve. I try
to incorporate a lot more rational thought into my decision-making process.
D4. ELI Application to Ethical Situation in the Workplace
I do think the ELI can provide some guidance in ethical situations in the workplace.
Ultimately, my primary and self-selected values will guide me through most of my decision-
making. However, being self-aware of the potential vices, blind spots, risks, and double
standards provides me with ways to stay true to my self and not deviate.
