Bowen H. McCoy | The Parable of the Sadhu
McCoy tells the story of a mountain trek in Nepal, in which he and his companion, a Quaker anthropologist, differed in their responses to helping a nearly dead holy man, a sadhu, near a mountain pass. He contrasts individual ethics when operating alone to the accepted ethics of a group or organization, highlighting the ethical dilemma of wanting to "do the right thing" when one does not have the support of the group. Thus, employees require support from the corporate ethic to function productively and in sync with company values.

A) less power than we do.
B) more resources than we do alone.
