professional roles have a fundamental responsibility to support our organization to the extent that we must also support our colleagues and peers if we are truly dedicated to the greater success of the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But, when exactly does that responsibility actually begin?\u00a0 More specifically, what is a colleague and what is a peer?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Let me present a very familiar scenario that each of us have experienced.\u00a0 You have arrived for a job interview, and have taken your place in a very comfortable waiting area.\u00a0 As you take your seat, you see another candidate sitting not far away.\u00a0 A cordial smile, perhaps even a greeting, and then moments later, she is invited by a member of the interview panel, and they depart into an adjoining room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You feel very confident about your opportunity to show your knowledge, explain your skills and experiences, and to illustrate the wide variety of talents you have.\u00a0 You know you have prepared well, and you are excited about the opportunity to join this company because of its reputation, mission and the work the position will be called upon to perform.\u00a0 You also have the added confidence knowing that in this instance, the organization is actually hiring <i>two<\/i> people for the position\u2014and you know that you\u2019ll be able to distinguish yourself among the \u201cTop 2\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Soon, another candidate arrives, and he takes his seat near you.\u00a0 Once again, a brief smile and greeting is shared.\u00a0 This candidate, much like the person you met when you arrived, appears very professional, is cordial and is likely very qualified like yourself.\u00a0 You are both excited for the fact that the organization is in fact able to attract great talent, and that you have the opportunity to demonstrate you have those very qualities\u2026and you\u2019re also mildly anxious knowing that same level of talent is competing for the same positions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a matter of moments, the door opens, and the first candidate exits, exchanging enthusiastic pleasantries and a firm handshake with the chairperson of the interview panel.\u00a0 As that candidate walks through the area, she looks at you and genuinely smiles and says, \u201cGood luck!\u201d\u00a0 Then, the chairperson steps toward you, greets you warmly and invites you in for your interview.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">At the end of your interview, you thank the panel, and as the chairperson escorts you back into the waiting room, he tells the awaiting next candidate that the panel will be taking a brief, scheduled break.\u00a0 The chairperson then steps back into the room and closes the door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After extending the courtesy provided you earlier, you turn to the candidate and wish them well in their interview.\u00a0 But as you step toward the exit, he says, \u201cYou were in there a while!\u00a0 What did they ask you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">What would you say?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Let\u2019s review this setting once more, just so all the issues are out there:\u00a0 Job interview for a superior firm, two positions available, and there <i>at least<\/i> <i>three <\/i>candidates.\u00a0 You\u2019re also quite certain you\u2019ve done very well on your interview and the panel was genuinely impressed with your credentials.\u00a0 But, the other two candidates you\u2019ve met are obviously accomplished as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Now, back to the question at hand\u2014\u2018What did they ask you?\u2019\u2014and how will you respond to this candidate?\u00a0 If you did, would it help him\u2014at your expense?\u00a0 If you did share your experience, is there a chance he might be asked something different?\u00a0 Does the possibility that either, neither or both of you could be the candidates who are hired matter?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Those are all very valid concerns.\u00a0 Here\u2019s one more:\u00a0 Do you have a <i>responsibility<\/i> to share that with him?\u00a0 If you desire to become part of the organization, and supporting your peers and colleagues is a strong, prevailing value there, then when does that begin?\u00a0 Or, is the actual value demonstrated in serving others, and if it is, when do you choose to do so?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Principles without challenge are merely preferences.\u00a0 Unless those core values we hold are tested, we cannot really know what is important to us.\u00a0 We all must recognize and understand that when called upon to serve others we are being provided an opportunity to strengthen our values, and ourselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each of us within our professional roles have a
