Ethical Leadership

Joe Holt, Cindy Muir (Zapata), Angela Logan, Kirsten Martin, Dr. Amanda G. McKendree, and James Otteson

Welcome to the Specialization in Ethical Leadership! Over the course of a few months, we aim to help you understand how to “Grow the Good in Business” through leadership centered in personal integrity, conviction, and values. Corporate culture is often criticized for valuing short-term gains over long-term growth and concern for others. At Notre Dame, our approach integrates ethical, social, and environmental issues into traditional business courses. Our aim is to equip you with cross-functional intelligence, a balanced worldview, and a proper sense of moral purpose that can prepare you to contribute, cooperate, compete, and lead ethically in today’s rapidly changing business environment.

Leading from Within

There is a key difference between leading from without and leading from within: decision-making. Those who lead from without base moral decisions on external pressure or the opinions of others, rather than on deeply held personal values and beliefs. This course will provide tools and insights that will help you successfully lead from within at the personal, organizational, and societal levels.
