Is It Time We Stop Teaching Ethics and Start Teaching Character and Values?


Keywords: 

Abstract: In this proposed PDW, I explore the conceptual rationale and curricular design and delivery challenges of moving away from teaching business ethics and toward a framework that emphasizes teaching character and values as a superior method for training business students to develop a more effective internal moral compass. Research suggests that our historical approach to teaching ethics is inadequate, so my framework for teaching character and values is presented as a remedy. Lessons learned from 12 iterations of a “Leadership Through Character” course are shared with in-depth details on challenges related to course design, roll out and instructional pedagogy.
