Abstract:

The "good" in good leadership has two distinct meanings. In the first sense of the word, Hitler was a good leader. He made efficient and effective use of political power to control the behavior of his followers. But in the other sense of "good", Hitler was a bad leader; he used power and controlled the behavior of his followers for evil ends. This module will explore leadership, the use of power, and the ends to which it is deployed to distinguish between good (=effective) leadership and good (= morally exemplary) leadership. It is based on series of class presentations given by Ricardo Lopez. This module is being developed as a part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation, "Collaborative Development of Ethics Across the Curriculum Resources and Sharing of Best Practices," NSF-SES-0551779.
