Ethics and Leadership

Catalog description

Prerequisite: senior standing. Women and men within organizations are compelled to make decisions that in turn affect the organization itself. This course examines ethical questions that directly affect how organizations function, internally and externally, through what they choose to relay and omit to their various audiences. Cases and academic studies will be analyzed that reflect how ethical and unethical communication affected the fortunes of organizations. We 256 will also evaluate our personal ethics through a series of self-evaluation exercises and relate what we are learning to the "real world" through monitoring of current events during the course.
