1. Ethical Issue? Papers on Airplane: I need your help with a tricky
ethical issue. On Sunday, I found a pile of papers in the seat pocket on an airplane ride. It was a PowerPoint Presentation ripped in quarters. I glanced at one or two pieces and quickly discovered that it was a Confidential Report by one of the largest consulting organizations, outlining a key business decision they are considering. Clearly, this was left by a senior manager after the plane's last leg. I stopped looking at the content, but was struck by what I should do about it. I took the papers, put them in my briefcase. Now, what should I do:
a. Send them to the CEO of the company?
b. Try to find out who the passenger was and send it to them?
c. Do nothing, just shred them and forget about it?
d. Paste the pieces together and read them? (No, just kidding!)
This is an interesting ethical issue and another reason to watch what you read on airplanes. Help me out. I want to decide by the end of today. If you have an opinion, please send me a note to emasie@masie.com
