Please respond to the this Ethical Dilemma Below: Following the Rules One of the most

Please respond to the this Ethical Dilemma Below: Following the Rules One of the most important characteristics of an effective leader is treating people equitably. This involves fairness and consistency, including regards to applying the rules to everyone equally. What should a coach do when a few superstar players get caught breaking rules that should lead to their suspension from the team immediately before a big game that is very important to the team? If the star players don’t play, there is a good chance the team will lose. If the team has to win this game to advance to the championship game, should that affect the coach’s decision? If the coach doesn’t apply appropriate consequences to the actions of the players who broke the rules, what lesson are those players learning? Will they continue to break rules? What about the other players who do follow the rules. Will they learn that the rules are just suggestions and feel like they don’t need to comply in the future? What if one of the players who broke the rules will miss a chance to be seen by professional scouts if he doesn’t play in the game? What if the team’s school will earn a large amount of money from television coverage of the big game if the team goes to the championship? What if the coach is set to earn a big bonus or significant pay increase if the team advances to the championship game? Coaches are responsible for winning, but they’re also responsible for setting an appropriate example of leadership for players and treating all team members fairly. What may seem to be an obvious choice between right and wrong at first glance is really much more complicated. Learners who responded to the other question will get full credit for their work.
