To Access This Course:
We all know about our level of intelligence, but there are many different facets of intelligence to consider including your emotional intelligence, your social intelligence and your ethical intelligence, which we will explore in this course. Ethical intelligence is often ignored in practice, leading to regretful situations where many good people find themselves in embarrassingly bad positions.
In this course, we explore what is our ethical intelligence and why is it that we can rationalize behaviors and decisions that would not typically be representative of our normal moral character. You will see first hand using an incredible case study showing how a small indiscretion can spiral into a scandal and ruin your career.
Learning Objectives
- Explore the state of ethics in the world today and recognize that it’s a far larger issue than most of us consider on a daily basis.
- Recognize that ethical intelligence is both a function of the brain and a competency that can be developed throughout one’s professional career.
- Identify the different types of means and ends rationalizations we tell ourselves to justify our decisions, actions, and behaviors.

I have taken many of Blair's courses and they have all been dynamically presented and have impactful content. Well not Blair has added Jennifer to this program and takes it to an even higher lever. Blair you never cease to amaze. Great Course.
Thank you,

It was interesting learning that Ethical Intelligence is a sought-after "soft skill" of a leader just as Social and Emotional Intelligence are.
It was also interesting to see the 6 different areas of "Means and ends rationalizations" and the thought process involved for each one.

This course provided real world examples of ethical problems in our society and highlighted that trust in our governments and businesses are at an all time low. Very good points were made to consider.

This is a change from the typical ethics course, delving into such things as how our brains work and specific case-studies. It was a wonderful break from the typical course.

The presentation (verbal and written) was nicely done with relevant examples including a case study at the end of the course which went into specific details.

Not sure I gained much from this course. The information was there, but I can hardly recall any of it. Presenting ethics in an engaging way is tough.

This course is more like a case study than a theoretical introduction. It could serve well as a complement to other ethical courses.
