Course Title:
Logics and Lessons of Leadership
Course Number:
SOC60207
Course Description:
Although considerable research suggests the opposite, leaders are often assumed to be important to the performance of organizations. We explore the relevance and irrelevance of leaders through three distinct logics: 1) the logic of consequence, 2) the logic of appropriateness, and 3) the logic of absurdity. The logics provide a framework for exploring a range of issues relevant to any human being and leader, including greed, integrity, passion, self conceptions, identities, and proper behavior rather than self interest, expectations, incentives, and desires. To explore these issues, we seek inspiration in classic literature, academic readings, movies and case studies to appreciate leadership in ways that go beyond financial performance. Literature reminds us of the importance of humanity.
