No matter what your job or where it's located, the ability to work through differences with others is key to your career success.
How would you handle the following situation? It's based on something that happened a long time ago, but I've updated it to fit today's context. Let me know your thoughts. I'll post the actual results shortly:
You have been selected for a leadership development program. For six weeks, you will be at a special training location, where you will learn topics such as communications, resolving conflicts and dealing with change. During your time at this location, you are to eat a special diet that will enhance your learning and your overall fitness.
The trouble is, this diet violates certain religious beliefs you have. You'd rather not take part in this diet. However, your stance has created a problem for the manager of the leadership program. This person is concerned that your failure to take the diet will affect your appearance and your performance, and hence will hurt this person in his/her own career. You don't want to cause harm to this person's career, but you also want to be true your religious beliefs, and you want to stay in the program and company.
What do you do?
