• Discuss a time in which you (or someone else you know) reverted to using position power to influence others. Looking back, would you have done anything differently?
• Has a person in a leadership or management position ever asked you (or someone you know) to do something unethical on the job? What did you do and what was your justification in doing so?
• What can leaders and followers do to overcome ethical challenges involving power and influence?
