Responsible Leadership: Conceptualizing the Ethics of Leadership for a Democratic Context

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

This course is an exploration of the ethics of leadership and learning conceived as the practice of responding fully and defensibly to the existential question, "How shall I live?" in the context of organizational goals and constraints and in recognition of power-laden roles within those institutions. We link experience, value, motivation and action to philosophical ideas to ensure that our leadership decisions account for all the elements of our moral/ethical lives. [3]
