The Parable of the Sadhu written by Bowen McCoy in which the author tries to

discuss and share the parallels he sees for business people as they face ethical decisions
at work based on his adventure in the Himalayas and even presents the differences he
had realized about the individual and corporate ethics. Bowen McCoy concludes in the
article that the lesson of the sadhu is that in every situation we have even in the corporate
world, an individual requires support coming from a group of workers or co-employees
because when people could not have and find such support in an organization or
corporate business, they would not know how to act. If such assistance is provided, an
individual has a stake in the group's success and can significantly contribute to the
process of creating and sustaining a corporate culture. The management task is to be
aware of individual needs, to mold them, and to focus and guide them for the good of the
entire group.
The parable of the sadhu raises interesting questions. There are numerously
debatable and challenging issues. Given that the topic was the cost of human life, could
we draw a comparison between that scenario and business? What portion of the burden
should each passenger endure when dealing with a stranger? I hazard a guess that the
topic of human life is the story of the sadhu's main concern. My ideas are more in line
with Stephen's belief that people in such a situation were motivated by compassion. It is
morally required of another person to save someone's life if they can. In my opinion,
McCoy ought to have helped Stephen persuade their acting leader, Sherpa Sirdar, to alter
the group's agenda to save more lives. For the travelers, the two extra days of delay were
not so important. Perhaps I seem naive, but it is more significant to me to know that I
have done everything in my power to save someone else's life than to live my entire life
wondering whether Sadhu lived.
Compared to regular mountain trips, corporate life is different. The company's
operations are unified by the common mission of its employees. Their responsibilities and
the tasks assigned to them are all geared toward reaching the predetermined objective.
The business organization also has a distinct up-down hierarchy. The number of
professional spheres in which a corporation operates signifies that it has a leader or a few
leaders. The values of a company are communicated to the staff by the CEO. Additionally,
it takes a lot of effort to assemble the cross-cultural personnel group into a cohesive team.
 As we can see from the following, in the sadhu parable, the Swiss, New
Zealanders, Japanese, and local porters lacked both a charismatic leader and the
necessary amount of time to bring the representatives of various nationalities and
religions together. The representatives of each group are exposed in stressful situations
to their true ethical backgrounds if they are not constrained by a strong company culture.
This is a lesson for managers. Company principles only take precedence over individual
ideas and approaches to problem-solving when there is a very strong corporate culture,
a strong leader, and clearly expressed and shown ethical rules of behavior. Everyone
acted uniquely in The Parable of the Sadhu's tense and exceptional predicament.
