As a corporate director of Paradigm Toys Company I will be able to work with all management principles but it may not successfully help the business to increase the ethical terms and transparency within the organization. Thus, I feel that reward power may be used to create the best ethical climate at Paradigm Toys: “Reward Power is the fastest way to persuade. Because it refers to the ability to deliver rewards or benefits to influence others. These can be financial, material, or psychological rewards.” (EzineMark.com. 2013-2015). When employees feel valued and are allowed to work the best way they can and receive rewards for it then they tend to produce better products. However, it can also make adverse impressions over the employees because they feel free in the workplace and that can cause them to become lazy and slack up due to the freedom that they have been given.

To develop a system of values one must compile a list of the most important instrumental values and terminal values. These lists are unique to every individual because they are determined by personal importance. Instrumental values, such as honest, helpful, ambitious, responsible, etc. should reinforce terminal values. Once a leader’s means are consistent with desired goals, their value system is unified and they have climbed the staircase from the lobby to the first level of values. The climb from the first floor to the second floor results in a person incorporating principles into their newly developed values. Although values act as the bedrock of ethics, principles are required because alone, “values are far too vague to have much meaning in ethical analysis” (Cooper, 1998, p. 12).
