Introduction to the Philosophy of Leadership and Management

Catalog description

Leadership and management are enormously consequential activities. We all want both to have good leaders and managers and to be good leaders and managers, given the opportunity. This course looks at leadership and management through the lens of social philosophy, asking at the most general level, "How shall I move my group in the right direction?" The course takes up several important conceptual and normative issues in organizational management and leadership, and will also look at practical implications. Classic philosophical texts will be considered as well as more recent work in philosophy and in management and political theory. GCP Coding : (SSHB) (OCOM).
