With reference to the call of the Inspirational Paradigm to integrate values-driven leadership and Jesuit identity into business curricula, my presentation will highlight two new courses now offered in the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. The first course, Foundations of Leadership: Clarifying Personal Values, is a required first-year course which introduces students to the practice of leadership. It is rooted in a Jesuit approach to leadership, emphasizing two key principles: (1) we are all leaders in that we all influence others, and (2) all leadership begins with self-knowledge. In this course, leadership is not defined by a position but rather by a mindset, shaped by who you are and what you want to achieve. Leadership experts James Kouzes and Barry Posner highlight: “Everyone can lead, whether or not they are in a formal position of authority or even part of an organized group…[Leadership] is about knowing your values and those of the people around you and taking the steps, however small, to make what you do every day demonstrate that you live by those values…It is about the choices you make throughout your life–with the goal of making the situations and places you find better because you were there.” This course underscores the importance of clarifying personal core values and identifying one’s strengths and weaknesses as foundational for effective leadership. Through engaging with Kouzes and Posner’s leadership framework and applying its principles to personal experiences, this course marks the beginning of a journey in which students will lead and follow, influence and be influenced, all while staying true to their goals and values. The second course, Values-Driven Leadership in Silicon Valley, is rooted in Santa Clara University’s vision of graduating leaders of competence, conscience, compassion, and community and designed to connect sophomore Leavey School of Business students with leaders in Silicon Valley. This course continues the learning begun in Foundations of Leadership: Clarifying Personal Values. This second leadership course integrates academic research (i.e., The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership), case studies, an interview essay and group project, and a leadership development plan to prepare students for values-driven leadership in various organizational contexts. Whereas the first course focuses on leadership as a mindset, this second course explores the challenges and opportunities provided to those in leadership positions and prepares students to think critically about the challenges of leading others ethically and effectively. I will also highlight the opportunities that a grant award from the Educating for Character Initiative out of Wake Forest University provided us in our development of both the courses and a leadership peer educator program.
