Practicing Ethical Leadership

Catalog description

A study of ethics is the basis of any leadership process. Students will examine the role of leaders in setting and maintaining ethical standards for teams, communities, and organizations. Students will recognize that leaders must continuously examine their personal values and address the question of what they should stand for. They will examine conflicts between personal values, organizational values, and the ethical choices that they must make as leaders. They will develop an awareness of the need for leaders to make ethical choices that are not based solely on personal values or on organizational values.
