Discovering Yourself as a Diverse Leader

Welcome to Week 1 of the course!

The goal of Week 1 is to help you rediscover the curiosity you had at the age of 4 and to learn about yourself and others. To achieve that goal, you will be guided to unpack diversity from both a conceptual and an existential framework. A series of video lectures, learning activities, and reflective exercises will help you unravel all the ways you are diverse. Then, you will use this self-awareness to analyze how your personal diversity influences your actions and behaviors in the leadership contexts in which you serve. Before diving into the Week 1 content and learning activities, please view the welcome video from your instructor and then complete a short “pre-assessment” quiz to gauge what diversity, inclusion, equity, and justice mean to you.

About the Ethical Leadership Specialization

Welcome to the Specialization in Ethical Leadership! Over the course of a few months, we aim to help you understand how to “Grow the Good in Business” through leadership centered in personal integrity, conviction, and values.

At Notre Dame, our approach integrates ethical, social, and environmental issues into traditional business courses. Our aim is to equip you with cross-functional intelligence, a balanced worldview, and a proper sense of moral purpose that can prepare you to contribute, cooperate, compete, and lead ethically in today’s rapidly changing business environment.
