Abstract
Current research findings on leadership provide a picture of a process that is far more sophisticated and complex than the often simplistic view presented in some of the popular books on leadership. In fact, there are almost as many different definitions of leadership as there are people who have tried to define it. The same picture can be found in books on ethics and on social responsibility. This course is designed not to tell you what ethical leadership or social responsibility is, but rather to provide a theoretical framework that you will apply to current business cases in order to help you develop, systematise and justify your own understanding of social responsibility and you own approach to ethical leadership.
Learning Objectives
- To develop, systematise and openly defend your own position on the social responsibility and your own approach to ethical leadership
- To evaluate how ethical leadership impacts the Triple Bottom Line;
- To balance consequentialism and deontology in leadership decisions
- To effectively align a company's ethical values and principles with strategic goals in the process of leadership
- To conceptualise and operationalise the virtue of acting with integrity as the supreme quality of a leader.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- To be able to clearly articulate and defend your own position in an ethical debate;
- To be able to question your managerial authority when it prevents the organisation from doing the right thing;
- To be able to recognise and act when a lack of integrity is corrupting your organisation;
- To be able to present a case for social responsibility in business and in management.
