MGMT 524 - Ethical Leadership of Organizations
Prerequisites: None
As the recent wave of corporate scandals and the global economic crisis provide continuing evidence of the deleterious effects of organizational leaders who thrive on exploitation, opportunism, and greed, organizations face an ever-increasing need for ethical leaders. With this in mind, the purpose of this course is to increase students’ theoretical knowledge of ethical leadership and its practical application in business organizations. A range of topics spanning leadership, organizational and behavioral research will be explored in the course, with an emphasis on work that enhances students’ understanding of the inextricable linkage between values, ethics and leadership. To increase students’ practical knowledge and skills, this course will also draw on a variety of external sources, including current events, case studies and videos. These materials will enable students to not only focus on the pervasive ethical dilemmas that arise as leaders’ values conflict with those of the organization, but also develop personal action plans for leading ethically in the workplace.
