Responsible Leadership
Course Description Leading with responsibility and integrity emerges as one of the central topics of contemporary societal and economic debate. How can people provide leadership in the professional world and in the world at large that responds to the public expectations and ethical principles of transparency, accountability and respect of diversity? This course aims to develop critical thinking about the theory and practice of responsible leadership. It will examine different theories, and will focus on dialogical leadership, which enables transparent and effective deliberation. The thinking about leadership can apply to all sectors, though much of the leadership theory discussed emerges from business studies. | Overview Course Code: RL-12042021 Registration: Open - Freemium Model
