A single person can stop corruption in an organization. You influence and woo others, and then you join forces to work as a team, though it needs a courageous and consistent person as it's a suicide.

It's a great question, really insightful. To be really honest, I don't believe one man's efforts can end corruption in an organization. Even if it were to happen, it would require many years of effort, perseverance, and resolve. The public should be made aware of the ills of corruption, and as many people as possible should join the just cause. I believe it would be the first step in making things simpler.

I don't believe a single person can stop corruption, but they can plant the seeds of change that will.

Yes and no. A person's ideas, plans, status, standing will affect the cause of change. If they are words and no action then nothing will change. If they're acting but without any direction then no change. It takes more than just words for change but I believe that change is possible by one person.

I don't think a single person can stop corruption in an organization but I believe it starts with one person.

It's possible but difficult. Instead, I think a collective resolve will work better. For a single person, it's obvious he or she will make enemies and in the end, he or she may be silenced or eliminated, which isn't easy to do for many people.

Yes, it is possible but the person must possess the right mind, determination, courage, discipline, and focus to accomplish it. It is a great task.

As the saying goes, "together we stand divided we fall" so one person can't stop corruption.

A single person can't stop corruption in an organization. However, a single person can convince other people so they could work together to stop the corruption. If Steve had better understanding of such information, he would have long succeded in his cause

I think that that single person can have the heart, mind, and soul to fight corruption, but I think that that person will still need advisors, informants, allies, and mates to them fulfill their goal.

Highly unlikely. But he can foster the change within the organisation and hopefully influence others along the way. To succeed, it will take time, willpower determination and strong character to enforce positive change.

An can be a pretty difficult task like in the case of Steve. But on a general not it is quite possible to achieve but enough courage is required to do so.

A single person cannot stop a significant level of change. But we should celebrate our little wins, our little impacts

My answer is yes, although it would be difficult, it is possible. But that person would have to be determined as being a one-man squad is difficult.
