Answer:

The correct answer is: low moral intelligence.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the corporate world, moral intelligence refers to "doing the right thing" at work without affecting individuals -employees, either the organization as a whole. Moral intelligence represents the values of employees and executives portrayed in their actions, workers maximizing the resources of the company to increase productivity and managers promoting fairness and individuals' development that is to be translated into commitment.

Thus, if an executive takes advantage of the company's information so others can implement stock trading strategies to increase their chances of booking large profits even if the manager does not place a trade, the executive is showing low moral intelligence.
