Teaching the Moral Leader

This book is a comprehensive, practical manual to help instructors integrate moral leadership in their own courses, drawing from the experience and resources of the Harvard Business School course 'The Moral Leader', an MBA elective taken by thousands of HBS students over nearly twenty years. The detailed and hands-on nature of the guide makes it possible for instructors, with or without a specialized background, to replicate the thirteen-session Harvard Business School course. The flexible class plans, easily adaptable to a wide variety of business and academic topics, assist instructors in integrating moral leadership into an existing course, module, or stand-alone session. Using this guide's background material and detailed teaching plans, instructors will be well prepared to lead their students in the study of this vital and important subject. The book also features a support website for students and instructors, with a wealth of extra resources including on-line links to Harvard Business School case studies and teaching notes. The manual and website forms a perfect complement to the accompanying student textbook, "The Moral Leader", also by Sandra Sucher. Written by a Harvard Business School professor who brings a real-world understanding of effective leadership development to the discussion, this innovative and important manual provides instructors with close study of literature, rigorous classroom discussion and enables them to confront their students with fundamental moral challenges, to develop skills in moral analysis and judgment and to come to terms with their own definition of moral leadership
