TREASON OR REASON
Keywords:
turnover, leadership, followershipAbstract
Ben is at a turning point. He has worked selflessly at a startup, but office politics and a lack of pay have led him to a place where he must choose between staying the course or quitting. A large multinational has been wooing him because he has the company’s intellectual secrets in his head. If he stays the course, he may be part of something great. He will likely gain fame and fortune as a pioneer in the field. It is likely that he will become president of the organization someday. But none of this is guaranteed. If he leaves, he will betray those with whom he has worked for all of these years. He can have everything he wants now if he is willing to turn on his colleagues. Should he stay or should he go?
