Organizational leaders will understand the ethical quandaries in which they can find themselves and learn how to handle them. Students will also learn how to identify and avoid ethical decision-making traps. The students will also explore the critical links between beliefs, values, and ethics and learn how make decisions when these decision-making elements don't align. Students will also have the opportunity to assess their own ethical perspective and learn how to collaborate and work with others who begin with a different perspective.
