Ethical Leadership.

Leaders often encounter the need to make decisions in the face of conflicting personal, organizational, and societal value sets. In this course, we examine the interconnectedness of leadership and ethics by addressing questions such as: What are ethical leaders, what do they do, and how do they do it? How are values and ethics formed in individuals and organizations? What are the responsibilities of leaders to establish ethics and values in their organizations? Are there tensions that exist between ethics and leadership? What tools and skills should leaders develop to address ethical dilemmas in organizations? The courses gives students relevant theoretical and practical knowledge related to ethics and provides strategies to help students develop as ethical leaders who understand their own values and how to apply them to complex ethical situations in organizations.
