Summary:

Moral Complexity in Leadership cases and teaching notes help business instructors harness the power of fiction to prepare students for the moral and ethical dilemmas they will face throughout their careers. Meaningful fiction challenges students intellectually and emotionally; it reveals the inner worlds of human players and enables learning that can be difficult to access via case studies, commentary, or reporting. Through literature, students will wrestle with the kinds of problems they will face as leaders looking to make courageous decisions aligned with their moral codes. Using fiction to spark dialogue on moral issues will challenge students to read critically and carefully; to listen empathetically; to facilitate and participate in open-and sometimes contentious-conversation; and to articulate well-reasoned opinions. The readings and discussions will lead students to understand more fully what enables people to make choices congruent with their values; to choose actions that convey care for the systems within which they operate (or for which they are responsible); and-perhaps most important-to determine how people can avoid getting themselves into trouble. The works in this series represent a wide range of settings, viewpoints, and cultural frameworks; the characters are complex and contradictory, and the systems within which they operate (whether family, organizational, or cultural) influence them in varied ways. These cases have been taught to executive, full-, and part-time MBA student audiences for many years. The series aims to increase students' understanding of moral frameworks and to enhance their skills in facilitating and participating in healthy and productive dialogue about complex and provocative issues.
