Course Description

As explored in LDR 501, organizational leaders face complex situations and make decisions that have long term effects for a wide range of local and global stakeholders, including the environment and future generations. Through examining current organizational issues and challenges, this course examines how to practically analyze situations and make decisions grounded in professional ethical principles and strategies, organizational integrity, socially responsible practices, sustainability principles, social justice perspectives, and being a contributing community partner. Central to this course is the refinement and articulation of one’s own professional code of ethics and the principles that guide it.

Content Application Presentation (due at scheduled webinar; 20 points). As an opportunity to explore resources of interest to expand your knowledge, understanding and discussion, students will select a resource (could be a video, article, paper, etc.) and prepare a brief presentation to be given during a webinar (or alternately, to be posted for the class, if attendance at a webinar is not possible). The presentation should briefly describe the resource and talk about how this connects to the topics being discussed within the course. Resources may be selected from any source (current media, internet, library, or the course virtual resource library list that is available in the course page). The presentation should be between 5-8 minutes in length (please plan to not exceed this time limit).
