This course is about sharpening the moral mind—developing the insight, courage, and clarity needed to make principled decisions when the path is anything but clear. Blending behavioral science, real-world case studies, and philosophical inquiry, Moral Minds challenges students to examine the forces—internal, interpersonal, and institutional—that shape ethical decision-making. Why do good people sometimes make bad choices? How do organizational cultures reward silence or punish integrity? What tools can leaders use to navigate ambiguity, resist rationalization, and foster ethical resilience? Students will explore high-profile scandals, unsung acts of courage, and their own values through immersive simulations, role-play, and peer feedback. We’ll wrestle with questions of loyalty, transparency, fairness, and responsibility—across industries, across cultures, and across gray zones.

Applying data science in organizations is a “team sport”, so the course will also cover theWHO (key cross-functional stakeholders) in an organizational context. The course will also invite industry leaders to share how leaders are applying data science in their organizations for driving data-driven insights to deliver business outcomes.

Power and Influence examines the bases of subunit and individual power in organizations and the means by which subunit and individual power is translated into influence. The course assumes that leaders sometimes must acquire power to be effective, but recognizes that leaders do not always use power in the interests of the organization. Thus, the course explores the positive and negative effects that power and its use can have an organizational effectiveness and in the process considers the ethics of power and influence. The course also recognizes that leaders are not the only organization participants who acquire power and exercise influence in organizations. Thus, the course focuses not just on leaders but also middle level managers and lower level employees. The course's most basic premise is that managers at all levels of the organization can improve their effectiveness (both in pursuit of their own and their organization's interests) if they better understand how power is accumulated and used in organizations. Class sessions are devoted to discussing case studies in light of theoretical arguments advanced in readings.

And the very best managerial thinking doesn’t just recognize that interdependency: it leverages it, taking forceful, forward-looking decisions that shape competitors’ actions and the very structure of the competitive environment. This residential course begins by developing new tools for decision-making, and then applies those tools in experiential exercises and cases, yielding fundamental insights for managers in a wide range of competitive settings.
