- Always set the right example—when leaders (or marketers) set a poor standard, teams tend to perform poorly, too. Use ethical thinking to promote preventing problems—it is not enough to simply say whether something is ethical. Leaders (or marketers) must be able to instill an understanding that ethical considerations may reduce problems/incidents. The means never justify the ends—leaders (or marketers) are charged with the responsibility of determining whether the means to an end are ethically acceptable.

For this week's discussion, we have been asked to review and discuss the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). This is an extension of the Jungian personality theory, which identifies personality traits that help identify performance measures that make it easier to promote and use employees in a way that will ensure their success (McShane & Von Glinow, 2022). However, there are particular areas in business where this can be used, as it is not a bulletproof evaluation tool, and, per the text, it could be a better tool for performance evaluation and pre-employment. (Coe, 1992). So, how does this apply to the question of the week, and how can we use it in daily business to increase the success of the employee and the business overall?
