Ethical Theories, Leadership, and The Ethical Inventory
Description
Leadership is often defined as the ability to influence people. An effective ethical leader guides an organization and its employees to accomplish organizational goals. In the same vein, an unethical leader can guide an organization and its employees to act unethically, harming both the organization and the stakeholders. Being a leader is an exploration, a reflection, and a test of your leadership values. Seeking understanding of how you resolve ethical dilemmas, taking inventory of where an ethical weakness may lie, and examining the traits of an ethical leader helps you define, shape, and apply an ethical decision-making framework, while also taking into consideration all stakeholders who may be affected by your decisions.
Respond to an ethical situation as well as analyze the results of the Ethical Lens Inventory (ELI), which should be completed in the course.
This task focuses on you as a leader by helping you to define, refine, and test your ethical boundaries through self-reflection and analysis.
