| Summary: | This case invites students to engage in critical thought regarding ethics and success not only in a hostile work environment but also during the transition of power within an organization that has had a problematic past. The figure of Lucius Junius Brutus played a pivotal role in the foundation of the Roman Republic, or such is the traditional story reported by the poets, historians, and antiquarians of ancient Rome. Considering issues such as self-preservation and conflict of interest, students will use the story of this leader from the past to reflect on what altruistic qualities make for a successful leader today and are conducive to the establishment of a virtuous cycle of organizational development. Distinguishing between loyalty to the family and concern for society overall, Brutus made difficult decisions that required self-sacrifice, but were successful in the long-term and proved to be for the good of the community that he served.Note that as is typical of the history of ancient Rome, this case contains sensitive material pertaining to sexual assault and suicide. Readers struggling with these issues are advised to seek help from reliable local entities that offer psychological assistance and counseling. |
