The Ethics of Leadership*
Presenter: Terry L. Price, Ph.D., University of Richmond
Principal Coordinator: N. Karl Haden, Ph.D.

CE CREDITS: 6
In academic dentistry, leaders are called upon as teachers, role models, and mentors for those who will enter the dental and allied dental professions. Administrators and faculty must exemplify ethics and values that sustain both the academic community and the professions. Among the challenges faced by academic leaders are those associated with power, duties of administrators, faculty, and students, and the relationship of leaders to followers. This interactive Signature Series program will integrate ethical theory and leadership to explore what constitutes morally responsible leadership in an academic context. The program will include discussions of "moral psychology," the study of how people think about morality and are motivated by it. Participants will consider questions such as the following: "what is morality?" "what features of a situation are morally relevant?" "why should we be moral?" "what kind of good is morality?" "why do leaders behave immorally?" Specific objectives of the program are to 1) understand the concept of moral psychology; 2) identify and understand how ethical problems take on a particular guise in leadership contexts; 3) develop a framework for ethical decision making; and 4) consider common ethical challenges in an academic context and how to address them.
