Unit 6

Given course content information and a scenario—analyze a situation that poses an ethical dilemma.

Purpose: To build awareness that every leader will face ethical dilemmas and to provide a framework for discussions on how individuals might conduct themselves when they face similar dilemmas.

Method: For this exercise, firefighters from different agencies volunteered to share a personal experience in which they grappled with an ethical dilemma. Segment 4 of the video includes four interviews describing their stories. Each interview shows a firefighter at a different stage in his or her career.

We will review 2-4 of the videos and discuss after Part 1 the values in question and have a closeout discussion after part 2.

• Be prepared to discuss.
