The Ethical Leader’s Responsibilty to Community

This paper has two purposes. It is a reflection on corporate social responsibility, ethical leadership, and civic responsibility. These subjects were first learned in the classroom through traditional pedagogical methods. However, these traditional methods were supplemented by participation in a service-learning project. My experience working for a community organization provided examples of what I learned in class. This experience also allowed me to make normative claims concerning the duties of corporations, citizens, and ethical leaders. This paper also demonstrates that service-learning projects can provide moral and civic education for students. My fifteen hours of service increased my awareness of community problems, demonstrated that people have a responsibility to help others, and ingrained a commitment to service that will last my entire life. I participated in service learning as part of a requirement for the Ethical Dimensions of Leadership course (MGT 5384) at Virginia Tech. This course focuses on the conduct of business within the context of moral philosophy. The goals for the course include providing a theoretical foundation for ethical decision-making frameworks, examining the connection between leadership, ethics, and corporate social responsibility within organizations, and understanding how to develop and maintain ethically responsible relationships with stakeholder groups.
