4.2 Discussion. Ethical Challenges

Getting Started

In LDR-305, you addressed the concepts of Ethics and Decision-Making. That was eight classes ago. Since that time, you have addressed the concepts of Followership, Organizational Behavior, the Psychology of Leadership, Leading Groups and Teams, Developing Others, Wisdom, Vision, Values, Communication, Innovation, and Change. Ethics touches each and every one of these concepts. In this discussion forum, you will reflect on how you have grown in your understanding of how to ethically address these concepts.
