Re: Leadership Course at Lower Merion

This might be a stupid question... but do they teach non-ethical Leadership? I guess in my mind, and in every leadership book I have read, every course I have taken, ethics is always somehow tied into leadership. Even the "How to Win Friends and Influence People" which before I read, I thought was a sales pitch/manipulative title/idea, turned out really to be a lot about ethics, and being honest.

I know that in the real world there is non-ethical leadership going on, political games and the like, but I dont think Ive ever seen non-ethical leadership actually taught.

Splitting hairs I know... Im all for anything that teaches students to take charge and lead as you will know from many of my posts and the leadership conferences I taught, but I guess I was mostly curious why the ethics was speficially called out in the course title, if it was some form of leadership or specific theory of leadership I hadnt heard of...?

Good luck... Id definitely be interested to see what the curriculum structure turns out to be
