In the realm of professional conduct, ethics plays a role that tends to go far beyond fulfilling the roles and responsibilities of the job with diligence and honesty. But some people consider professional competence as the only critical requirement for a job. If faced with a choice, who would you prefer to hire - someone with professional competence or one with strong moral values?

(1) Interpret laws, rules, regulations for fulfillment of organisational goals & public welfare. (2) Improve work culture based on team work & leadership, communication [eg] → Tata brands are known to have good work culture. (3) Motivates to go beyond call of duty. [eg] → Parmeshvaran Iyer stepped into a pit to clean toilet to build positive attitude of public.

Choice → professional competence vs strong moral values

I would choose the one with strong moral values because:- (1) Intelligence without integrity results in 'clever devil' [eg] → insider trading. (2) Training can build prof. competence but not values in short time. (3) Commitment & dedication to work is of utmost importance.
