COURSE DESCRIPTION
Contemporary organizations have to contend not only with best practices regarding profit, lawful practices, ethical concerns, and an ever increasing transparency to the general public and their consumers in all levels of their activity.
In the transparent world in which we live, sound ethical choices cannot be divorced from sound commercial reasoning and vice versa. The enlightened and successful organization maintains economics and ethics on the same decision-making plane applying sound methods for ethical business outcomes. It also carefully manages the tone, attitude and language that provide “Cultural Permission” shaping the way employees think and behave.
With this in mind the goal of this course is to discuss the intersection of emotional intelligence, said to be the 21st century’s most vital skill, and ethical practices in order to navigate difficult and pressing issues facing contemporary organizations.

"This was hands down the most fun ive ever had learning. Before this class I had pretty much come to terms that learning is a dry boring experience. I had so much fun with planet jockey that I finished it within a few days of its launch. Planet Jockey is a basic CEO simulation which drops the player into the shoes of a brand new CEO for a failing company called Planet Jockey. Planet jockey had me making decisions in order to turn this company around. In the beginning it taught me how to meet my team and make a good impression so I could present new goals and ideas to my team."
