Leadership and Ethics
About this subject
On successful completion of this subject you will be able to :
- Assess leadership styles in a range of organisational settings.
- Reflect on personal strengths and areas of challenge and effectively self-manage these towards improved leadership practice.
- Evaluate how effectively leaders encountered in case studies and in the workplace are able to diagnose and ethically improve the key areas of organisational functioning.
- Appraise ways in which leadership can contribute to corporate social responsibility.
- Please refer to RMIT University's Learning Management System - Canvas, for further details.
This course enables Executive MBA students to identify and reflect on their capabilities and development needs as ethical leaders, and the consequent implications for designing their own professional leadership development. During this course, students examine key literature and cases related to the effective practice of ethical leadership. Just as importantly, the current and previous workplace experiences of students provide them with opportunities to observe and attempt to understand leadership behaviour in the context of the ‘real world’. Whether students are relating course concepts to their own leadership, or to the leadership of people they report to, or to the complexities of a Harvard Case Study, the opportunities for reflection and for learning-in-action can be embraced.
