TEACHING ETHICAL LEADERSHIP AT DEPAUL SCHOOL OF PUBLIC SERVICE
Copyleft DMT
Slide 7
As almost 20% of our graduates are DePaul employees and because
our students come in the program because they want to make
difference in the world we teach ethical leadership as a core
course, critically reflecting and rediscovering the mission, values
and practices of the university We start by showing how values
needs to align with practices for individuals and organizations
PLEASE USE YOUR CRITICAL & ANALYTICAL SKILLS TO REVIEW THIS
ORGANIZATIONAL VALUE STATEMENT RESPECT: We treat others as we would
like to be treated ourselves. We do not tolerate abusive or
disrespectful treatment. Ruthlessness, callousness, and arrogance
don't belong here. INTEGRITY: We work with customers and prospects
openly, honestly and sincerely. When we say we will do something,
we will do it; when we say we cannot or will not do something, we
won't do it. COMMUNICATION: We have an obligation to communicate.
Here, we take the time to talk with one another...and to listen. We
believe that information is meant to move and that information
moves people. EXCELLENCE: We are satisfied with nothing less than
the very best in everything we do. We will continue to raise the
bar for everyone. The great fun here will be for all of us to
discover just how good we can really be. Copyleft DMT

Principle 1: Purpose: We will develop the capabilities of
students to be future generators of sustainable value for business
and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable
global economy. Principle 2: Values: We will incorporate into our
academic activities and curricula the values of global social
responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as
the United Nations Global Compact. Principle 3: Method: We will
create educational frameworks, materials, processes and
environments that enable effective learning experiences for
responsible leadership. Principle 4: Research: We will engage in
conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding
about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the
creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value.
Principle 5: Partnership: We will interact with managers of
business corporations to extend our knowledge of their challenges
in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore
jointly effective approaches to meeting these challenges. Principle
6: Dialogue: We will facilitate and support dialog and debate among
educators, business, government, consumers, media, civil society
organizations and other interested groups and stakeholders on
critical issues related to global social responsibility and
sustainability. We understand that our own organizational practices
should serve as example of the values and attitudes we convey to
our students. Copyleft DMT
