Ethical Leadership in Food Business will deliver the skillsets, mindsets and toolsets necessary to make informed, ethically-minded and intentional decisions required to lead a food-related venture. Over five weeks, this hands-on, practical course will prepare food leaders to face complex challenges around health and nutrition, sustainability and climate, transparency, and labor. You’ll work to develop a personal moral compass. You’ll learn how to build and operationalize a values-based corporate culture.

Overview

Effective ethical leadership in food requires more than a sense of right and wrong—it requires the ability to lead with purpose.  New food leaders need the tools to develop and sustain a personal moral compass, a strong understanding of the risks inherent to the food system, and the ability to apply ethical decision-making across a range of issues impacting the food industry.

This hands-on course will take you through a series of interactive exercises. You will engage theoretical models, participate in group discussions, develop research questions, create media assets, and use your developing mindsets, toolsets, and skillsets to solve real-world problems.

The topics covered include, but are not limited to:

  • the development of a personal leadership style;
  • an examination of leadership lessons from leaders in the hospitality industry;
  • a discussion of leadership strategies in a time of crisis;
  • and, an historical analysis of women and leadership, including the challenges women face in contemporary business.

This program provides the opportunity to practice intentional decision-making from a variety of perspectives, and evaluate the economic and ethical impact of those decisions.

In this course, you will:

  • EXPLORE and UNDERSTAND the definitions, philosophical underpinnings, and real-world implications of ethics as connected to pressing issues in the food business;
  • DEFINE and UTILIZE multiple ways of approaching questions of ethics and morality in business decision-making;
  • EXAMINE the balance of internal and external (personal and professional) factors when dealing with ethical decision-making;
  • CONSTRUCT your own leadership statement, according to a rigorous process of reflection, self-study and analysis;
  • and, EVALUATE the impact of common food business decisions on consumers, laborers, business-owners, the community, and the financial bottom line.
