I found it interesting that the rationale for a "good type" of bribery is attempted to be validated as justified. I remember a similar story a few years back that I read in Bill George's book, True North. The employee attempted to use similar rationale of why he used bribes. I would agree with the assertions in that book, that being authentic as not just a leader but as an organization, means standing by a certain code regardless of where you do business. Once a rationale starts to take a shortcut from that anywhere, it is like a bad apple in a good barrel of apples -- eventually the rot spreads.

Great Post!
