The challenges for a good man

When placed in a difficult environment in order to execute a tough job the good man has two moral challenges of note.

Firstly, any role has the functional goals set by an immediate superior which the good man constantly measures against the stated goals of the organization. This reconciliation often presents a paradox that tortures the good man.

Corruption, the second issue, exists as ‘direct-in-your-face’ corruption but then there are also many more subtle forms that do not even break any rules. In a difficult working environment often some corruption is more effective than no corruption. This presents the moral man with another challenge.

Pity the good man because he does not hide from these challenges.
