• Department Interdisciplinary
• Level Graduate

Description

To immerse you in a truly unique interdisciplinary experience, this course is organized and presented as if you were attending a virtual leadership conference: The Society for Ethical Leadership and Development Conference. In each module, you will hear from a Keynote Speaker an expert in their field introducing you to the topic. You will then move to a Roundtable Session to hear an interdisciplinary conversation between two experts from different disciplines not only discussing the module's topic from their perspective, but how it impacts another discipline. Next, you will move to a Breakout Session where you will hear your discipline-specific expert relating the modules topic to your specific discipline. As you leave your Breakout Session, you will receive Session Handouts that are your required readings and ancillary materials for the module. Throughout the course you will engage in discussions and learn about how decisions made in one discipline affect another. You will also form a Task Force to solve a complex issue by working with multiple constituencies with divergent needs, all the while using an ethical lens a lens with a focus on social responsibility and the intersections of diversity, culture, and environment and how these differences affect best practices in management in their disciplines. The end result will be you on your way to becoming a highly effective transformational leader in your profession, one who formulates sustainable, ethically sound solutions to practical management problems encountered in a complex global environment.
