What About Justice?

The Dilemma: Upholding Justice vs. Personal Ambition

Faith Killebrew is on the verge of a career-defining moment. Winning this case could secure her position as District Attorney. But then — evidence emerges that juror Justin Kemp, not the defendant, may be guilty.

Now, she has a choice:
⚖️ Pursue the truth — risking the destruction of Justin’s family, her own career, and the conviction she fought for.
🤐 Stay silent — letting an innocent man take the fall, protecting herself and her ambitions.

It’s the classic leader’s dilemma: When ethics and personal gain collide, which path do you choose?

What is your Choice?

1. Authenticity vs. Fear of Self-Worth

Faith’s Authenticity urges her to act with integrity, to seek the truth regardless of personal cost. Yet, the fear of self-worth whispers doubts: “Will exposing this truth undermine my achievements? Am I willing to sacrifice my hard-earned reputation?”

She has two choices:
✅ Step in and act in alignment with her values.
❌ Distance herself from the truth and protect her image.

🔹 LeaderNess Insight: True leadership means aligning actions with core values, even when the cost is high. Integrity has a price. Are you willing to pay it?

2. Belief vs. Fear of Performance

Her core personal believes and her belief in the justice system compels her to correct the wrongful prosecution.

But the fear of performance kicks in: “If I admit this, people will see me as weak. A failure. Will voters still trust me?”

🔹 LeaderNess Insight: Leaders must prioritize internal consistency over external validation. You have the right to be wrong. Own it.

3. Direction vs. Fear of Belonging

Faith’s Direction is clear: she became a prosecutor to serve justice. But the fear of belonging sneaks in:”What will people think? Will I lose my allies? Will this end my career?”

🔹 LeaderNess Insight: True leadership means following your purpose, not popularity — even if it means standing alone.

4. Empathy vs. Fear of Perform

Faith’s Empathy makes her hesitate — she sees Justin as more than just a criminal. He’s a father. A human being who made a tragic mistake. But the fear of consequences looms:
“If I expose this, am I ready for the personal and professional fallout?”

🔹 LeaderNess Insight: Leadership isn’t just about doing what feels right — it’s about balancing empathy with responsibility. Kindness and accountability must coexist.

Your LeaderNess in Action

Impact = Forces − Fears

Faith’s internal struggle exemplifies the delicate balance between one’s driving forces and inhibiting fears. Her journey prompts us to reflect:

• Authenticity: Am I staying true to my values, even under pressure?

• Belief: Do I trust in the principles I uphold?

• Direction: Is the path I am taking aligned with my core purpose?

• Empathy: Am I considering the broader impact of my decisions for me and others?

By confronting her fears, Faith moves closer to embodying true leadership.
