BUS 668 - Virtuous Leadership

3 Credits

This course delves into the practice of leading with authenticity in turbulent times. It acknowledges that there is much to be gained from the presentation of divergent world views, especially when these perspectives are analyzed within the context of discussions and case studies of real world situations. The course requires students to analyze a world view and use that perspective as a prism through which to evaluate the situations presented throughout the course. In that way, students will not only consider the perspective, but will have an opportunity to contrast that world view with their own, journaling similarities and differences and projecting results. Ultimately, through this process, students will develop a personal, ethical leadership model created as an amalgam of their inherent style and those presented throughout the course related to the discussions and case studies and focused specifically on the real world issues that demanded moral integrity, honesty, and humility in leadership but were discovered to be sorely lacking in these essential requirements.
