This is known as the “Character Ethic”. In the long term, it is easier to be motivated by such principles of integrity and goodness. Your character should not be based on a false public image, hypocritical attitudes and behaviors, or superficial techniques for human interaction/manipulation.

That is why people avoid change. To encourage people to assist with the change, you must create a sense of urgency (Kotter, 1996, 1998) 2) You can try and battle the resistance to change that people have by yourself, or you can make your life much easier by enlisting the help of others. To counteract resistance, one option is to form a powerful coalition of managers to work with the most resistant people. 3) While it is not impossible to get things done without a definite plan of action, it is much simpler (and you get more cooperation) if there is a clear plan in place. Creating a vision and the strategies for achieving the vision will help expedite the change.

Managers have been known to steal also, I had a General Manager steal food products just to set up another manager at one point. When I was a manager I witnessed my supervisor, who could not find any other way of terminating another assistant manager load product from the stores freezer into her car and take it to the employee’s house, drop it off in her driveway and call the police to report the theft. I have also seen employees take food from the restaurant simply to provide for their children. Generally employees in the food service industry, are among the lowest income households in America.

This desire leads him to make a hasty decision without careful considerations---to quit his job.
