1. Dicussion about protean&organizational careers

Protean career paths tend to be directed by the individual employee, are strongly guided by personal values, and define success based on the individual’s definition rather than the company’s or society’s definition. For this week’s discussion, please answer the following question: You are a new employee in your first year on the job. Your company has a new client and brand new, high-profile project that they would like you to take on the lead role as project manager. However, there are aspects of the project that go against your values (this can be related to anything that you value: politics, religion, family, personal time, compensation, autonomy, etc.). How would you respond and handle the situation if you were asked to take the lead on a project that went against your values? Please explain why you would respond in this way, and what factors influenced your decision.
