Course Summary
Respectful, fair, loyal, trusting, and transparent: these are the qualities of an ethical manager. This course examines what these virtues demand in practice.
While it is widely accepted that these are the moral qualities we look for in an “ethical manager”, the behaviours they demand is not always obvious. Is respect simply the absence of demeaning and humiliating treatment, or is there more to it?
Does fairness require that rewards are distributed strictly in accordance with “merit”, or is that an impoverished understanding of what fairness consists in?
