My Core Values Analysis

My core values include honesty, fairness, generosity, integrity, and ambition. These values have guided me in becoming the person I am today. With these values I attend to do what is best for everyone including myself, to bring about the greatest good for the greatest number.

A staff meeting was called to order to figure the best solution with the least loss to the company as well as the staff. A tenor paramedic mentioned that a trainee should take on the extra hours to obtain the experience, but this would result in the trainee running into overtime hours as well as not receiving any time off. While this conversation was occurring between a tenor paramedic and supervisor I focused on what the issue was, next I looked at who would be affected by the decision, then went through my head over both the good and bad outcomes of the decision, and lastly summed up those consequences.
