In Topics 1 and 2, you were introduced to conscious capitalism through the video “Everybody Matters” and “Conscious Capitalism: Unpacked.”
Consider the following scenario: One of your managers heard you are currently completing your master’s degree. He heard about your program’s emphasis on conscious capitalism and servant leadership. He called you into his office to discuss your how school is going. While sharing your excitement about what you are learning, he looked at you, smirked, and said, “All this emphasis on relationships is overrated. I have always made it clear to my subordinates what they need to do if they want to remain employed. All I have to say to them is, ‘Get it done and you will get rewarded, and if not, there will be consequences.’ It truly is that simple! Developing relationships with employees and suppliers or contractors, all that stuff is only good in the textbooks. It never delivers results.”
Prepare a response that explains the value of conscious capitalism and servant leadership and how it can be used to identify potential deficiencies. Include supporting citations to strengthen your claims.

The videos “Everybody Matters” and “Conscious Capitalism: Unpacked” in Topics 1 and 2 introduced you to conscious capitalism.
Consider the case below: One of your bosses learned you’re working on your master’s degree. Your program’s emphasis on conscious capitalism and servant leadership caught his attention. He summoned you to his office to discuss your academic progress. “All this emphasis on relationships is overrated,” he observed, smirking, as you shared your delight about what you’re learning. I’ve always made it obvious to my subordinates what they must do in order to keep their jobs. All I have to tell them is, “Get it done, and you will be rewarded; if not, there will be consequences.”
