Anyone can be a
leader no matter what the organizational hierarchy is. Reflecting on Jonathan Haidt’s Moral Foundation
Theory book, “The Righteous Mind,” although rules and virtues vary across
cultures, on a daily basis I am influenced by many moral foundations relating
to my thoughts, feelings and decisions. For this reflection, I have chosen to
discuss the ones that are most impactful for me.The care/harm moral foundation
when checked against a situation inspires me to have empathy for others who may
be in a different situation than myself, and sometimes it helps me to have
empathy for myself too when in a tough spot. Noticing this moral
foundation bubbling up in me and applying it to situations helps me to be a
better team player and listener. We don’t want others to suffer. If a colleague
has an illness that week and is unable to contribute, understanding what they
are going through and then working out a plan for a willing team member to take
over their workload uses care as a moral foundation. I try to notice and check
in with others who seem to be suffering, and then take action to help support
them.- Talia Eisenberg
