Ethics Project Assignment
We encounter leaders, both effective and ineffective, every day in the news/media, at school, at work, and/or in our personal lives including volunteer organizations, religious groups, and recreational activities. However, we do not always examine those leaders such that we recognize their ethical decisions nor analyze the behaviors that make them either effective or ineffective as ethical leaders. For this individual project, you will select an individual you consider a leader.
This Individual Project is due on Tuesday October 17
Select an individual who is a current or past leader in the news/media. You will put together a project that illustrates qualities/behaviors/decisions, etc. that illustrate the individual's role as a leader. In order to do this, you will need to find articles, stories, papers or watch whatever you can on the leader. You may find newspaper and magazine articles, stories on the internet or television and radio stations, or information published by the company/organization that the leader heads if it is a current leader. (Anything you read or use should be referenced in your written project on the leader- you will include the proper reference in the reference page at the end of your project).
Prepare a report that describes the individual ethical decisions and behaviors as a leader and your conclusions about the individual as a leader based on topics and theories discussed in class. You should use at least 3topics that we cover in the class with respect to your chosen leader.
Project Details:
The paper should be 5-7 pages in length, double-spaced, using 12 point font. Typographical errors will be a basis for point deductions. You should have an introductory section and a conclusion in addition to the sections applying specific topics. You should talk about specific instances of ethical behavior and decision-making shown by your chosen leaders in the paper.
