Paper Summary:
This report begins by briefly discussing issues of ethics in the real estate
environment and then moves on to assess themes that are brought up in Foster's book and provides a brief analysis of the specific text. The report then continues to address issues of business ethics from the writer's own analysis and point of view, which is one that values ethics and reputation in the real estate working environment over making quick money without integrity. This point of view happens to be synchronized with Foster's and has a positive message about the value of ethics.
From the Paper:
"Professional competence is related to issues of professional relationships. Generally, competence can be measured by an individual's ability to work inside of their known boundaries and not try to overstep or exceed them. One can be the judge of one's own competence. Professional relationships can also, at times, be an effective evaluation of competence. Competent individuals are dynamically involved in providing helpful solutions to their clients, and are always in a state of learning from their ever-changing environment. The book Alpha Male draws the line between competence and incompetence in ethical terms, and has a positive message about ethics and reputation meaning more than just the financial bottom line."
