MG 6001 - Spirituality and Values in Leadership

(2)

This course explores how the faith and values of a leader can and should shape their leadership. Students will explore the nature of leadership as expressed in multiple faith traditions, including the Jesuit perspective on leadership, and the idea of a “mensch manager.” Mensch is a Yiddish term for a gentle, proper person of integrity, honor and humility. Students will articulate what their own guiding values are, and explore how to remain true to their own principles while in the pursuit of success. They will also examine the implications of relying on one’s faith when working in a religiously diverse context.
