Reflect on the meaning of authenticity, equity, and inclusivity

You will reflect on the meaning of authenticity, equity, and inclusivity as they apply to your role as a manager. In this scenario, you have been selected by your organization to participate in a peer mentoring group for managers. The group has had its first meeting, during which the group moderator (i.e., the master mentor) has stressed the importance of having a clear understanding of who you are as a manager, the principles you will use to guide your managerial decision making, and how you will use your influence as a manager to be an agent of positive social change. You and your fellow mentees have each been charged with identifying your core values and beliefs and using them as a foundation for your personal code of ethics.

PART 1:

Analyze what authenticity means to you as it applies to the role of a manager.
Examine what an inclusive and equitable workplace is, including a description of its features, as well as an analysis of its impact on employees and the organization as a whole. Be sure to include specific examples and appropriate references to scholarly sources to support your analysis.
Summarize the role of a manager in promoting an authentic, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Be sure to incorporate references to scholarly sources to support your summary.

PART 2:

Core Beliefs and Values

Analyze the key values, beliefs, and/or experiences that have shaped you and that guide your thinking and behavior.
Explain how these values, beliefs, and/or experiences have influenced your workplace behavior in the past.
Identify three specific instances where you have had to make ethical choices. For each instance:
Describe the situation and the various courses of action you could have taken;
Explain what you ultimately decided and why; and
Explain whether you would make the same decision today.

Analyzing Others’ Personal Codes of Ethics

Analyze the personal codes of ethics of other individuals. Address the following:
Locate at least two examples of personal codes of ethics (or codes of conduct) online and attach them as appendices to your paper.
For each example, identify at least two specific aspects that resonate with you and/or that you would find helpful in guiding behavior as a manager. Additionally, for each example, provide at least one specific area that you believe could be improved.

Creating Your Personal Code of Ethics

Create your personal code of ethics. Address the following:
Identify 3-5 core beliefs, values, or principles that will guide your behavior and decision making as a manager.
Propose 2-3 specific behaviors for each belief, value, or principle to show how they are demonstrated in action. (Note: Behaviors are specific actions that are observable by others.) Begin each proposed behavior with the phrase “I will…”
Reflecting on your past experiences when you have had to make ethical choices, how will having a clearly defined personal code of ethics help you clarify your choices and make your decisions in the future?

PART 3:

Propose how you will use your code of ethics to be an even more effective agent for positive social change. Be sure to include specific examples and details to support your assertion.
Describe how using your emotional intelligence, as well as other management and leadership skills, can help you be more effective as a change agent. Be sure to include specific examples and details to support your assertion.
