Discussion
DQ1 According to Colangelo (1999), “education and
experience will teach you how far you can trust your intuition” (p. 26).
Additionally, in his video interview , Mr. Colangelo shares his outlook on a
variety of topics such as business ethics, personal integrity, and professional
development. Describe any key takeaways you have as a result of watching the
video.
As an entrepreneur or business person who is responsible for
making decisions that impact your organization both internally and externally,
describe how you make decisions when they conflict with your personal ethics
and instincts? What personal values and ethical standards do you consider most
important when making decisions? Provide an example that you have experienced
or observed that supports the idea of trusting your intuition and ethical
beliefs.
DQ2 Successful companies try to maintain a positive
relationship in the community in which they do business. In the textbook,
Colangelo explains that representing your core values in the community wins
loyalty to your brand and attracts new customers (p. 62). Entrepreneurs should
remember that part of a company’s stewardship includes socially responsible
actions in the community.
In what ways do organizations gain trust and show they are
socially responsible stewards? How is trust lost and how are reputations
damaged? Discuss examples of companies that are socially responsible and have
earned the trust of the community. Conversely, discuss other companies that
have lost the trust of communities and damaged their reputations through social
irresponsibility. What will you do to ensure that your organization maintains a
positive reputation in the community?

the worksheet you will reflect on your completed time log from part 1 and write
a short 250-500 word summary of your experience.
Part 1: Monitor your time in hourly increments.
Use the time monitoring log provided in the worksheet to

Do not overdo the recording; record the primary activity for
the hour. At most, record two activities per hour.
