About

“Ethical muscle memory”, as it’s sometimes called, is the idea that it is easier to do the ethically right thing if you have experienced a similar situation in which you are already familiar with the ethical landscape of the problem. The aim of this Ethics, Leadership and Governance course at King's College London is to promote and inspire this kind of engagement.

Overview

We will examine how, even when equipped with appropriate ethical decision-making tools, both individuals and organisations can act in unethical ways, often without even being aware that what they are doing is wrong.

The course will explore the factors that can erode, mask or hide ethical decision-making that can be minimised or at least ameliorated. It will then examine how the right kinds of behaviours at the individual, leadership, and institutional levels can be promoted.

What will I achieve?

Upon completion of this Ethics, Leadership and Governance module at King's College London, students will be able to:

Identify and apply the best ethical approach and reasoning in different institutional and organisational settings.
Anticipate and avoid the pitfalls of ethical failures that leaders and individuals make through practical, preventative, steps.
Propose actions, plans, and strategies to foster an appropriately ethical climate within an organisation.
