Description Leadership is good news or bad news. It is about leading, but it might also be about misleading. It is more than just good intentions, charisma, a personal gift, or features of a person; it is about impact, serving justice, positive values and the community; it must be done right. When it is exercised properly, the good must ensue for most of all, while empowering the voiceless, the weak, the least privileged, the most at risk, the disenfranchised. That is why this course is not interested merely in a leadership that is just another word for power at any cost, just an instrument for any cause. All together, the class will be spotting responsible leadership, where the solutions of women and men of power respond to the problems of the people, to whom they are accountable for. Objectives Exploring responsible leadership in terms of people, problems and processes The course examines how to integrate responsibility as a permanent drive in leadership, i.e. to care for the people, to solve their problems and to facilitate an empowering process: . People Care ◦ Serving the community, analyzing others’ needs, putting the concrete other first, ◦ Empathizing with all stakeholders: the disenfranchised, the marginalized, the groups at risk, the next generations, … ◦ Aiming for long-term improvement of self and others. . Problem Solving ◦ Mobilizing ethical values (security, integrity, justice, coexistence, etc.). ◦ Building acceptable solutions, which are seen as responding to the problems, legitimate, broadly beneficial to all, and open to ongoing review. ◦ Delivering positive impact of the solution on the environment (safe, peaceful, caring, inclusive, green, sustainable growth, etc.). . Process Facilitation ◦ Empowering all stakeholders from convening to implementation. ◦ Favoring a facilitative process to build ownership of the solutions. ◦ Ensuring broad accountability for any decision (i.e. not only with own constituency, but beyond). Possible Objectives for Members of this Class . Increasing the capacity to analyze what positive contributions leaders can bring. . Spotting the risks of misleading behaviors. . Influencing the leaders so that they deliver good impact for the community. . Giving and receiving feedback, as leaders, or to leaders. . Assessing one’s competencies as a leader and as “second in command”. . Becoming leaders of positive change.

Format and Prerequisites This course consists of 13 class sessions taught once a week for 3 hours per class. Class sessions will feature practical simulations (role plays), that participants will be asked to prepare at home before class, to role-play with their classmates, in pairs or in teams, and then to debrief with the entire group. Members of the class will also be exposed to case studies, exercises and video excerpts that they will be asked to review and analyze. Summary lectures will sum up the concepts and tools at the end of each session.

Requirements

Attendance, Punctuality, and Active Participation In order to benefit from experiential learning, you are required to attend every class and lab, barring documented illness. Please also arrive on time at the beginning of class and after the break. If you know you will be absent or late, for a legitimate reason, make sure you warn in advance your instructor and teaching assistant, who cannot accept unexcused absences. Should you miss more than two classes or labs, unfortunately, you will not qualify for credit. Attendance is more than just coming to class. You are expected to actively participate. Assignments and Readings In order to ensure active participation in the best possible conditions, make sure you complete the assignments listed below on time. It is highly recommended that students annotate personal copies of, or make notes from the readings. Students might be called upon to discuss readings in class and to participate in individual or group presentations. They must therefore come to class prepared to allow well-informed discussions. Students enjoy complete academic freedom in the classroom, within the limits defined by mutual respect. Students will be assigned different roles in leadership simulations. They are asked not to communicate before class with students who are not on the same side.

Writing Requirements The writing requirements listed below are intended to encourage students to approach reading materials critically, to foster improved research and writing skills, and to serve as a basis for contributing to class discussion and a diversity of opinions. Students are expected to devote careful attention to the technical quality of their written work, as well as its substance. They must be honest in all academic work. (See: http://www.brandeis.edu/studentaffairs/srcs/ai/top10students.html)

2 All written work for this course must include appropriate citation of the sources used.  See section 56c (“Avoid Plagiarism”) of the Concise English Handbook.  See http://www.brandeis.edu/studentaffairs/sdc/ai/index.html: ‘Truth even unto its Innermost Part’ and in particular the section dealing with citations. http://brandeis.libguides.com/content.php?pid=10580&sid=99216 The university policy on academic honesty is distributed annually, as section 5 of the Rights and Responsibilities handbook. Academic integrity is critical in all that you write and say, and transgressions are treated severely. Instances of alleged dishonesty will be forwarded to the Office of Campus Life for possible referral to the Student Judicial System. Potential sanctions include failure in the course and suspension from the university. If you have any questions about this, please ask.

Individual Written and Group Assignments All written assignments must be typewritten, single-spaced in 12-point font (like this syllabus), and submitted electronically via LATTE through a drop box, as a Microsoft Word attachment (if you are not using Word, you may format your file in Rich Text Format [RTF]), either before class, in class, or after class as mentioned below. 1.

For each session, you have a list of leaders, which is not exhaustive. Please pick one of the names in one of the lists, and read at least one book that is associated to that leader. You must make one such short oral presentation between sessions 5 and 10 and refer to the book you read and to either Leadership without Easy Answers or Leading Minds. . After Session 1: Please choose the leader you want to present. Propose three names by order of preference. If several participants pick the same leader, the leader will be assigned at random.

4. End of the term paper on responsible leadership (approximately 10 pages, with endnotes and bibliography), as well as a short PPT presentation summarizing the findings (two or three slides maximum), are required. Make sure you integrate some of the readings. The choice of topic must be submitted in writing on Latte by October 3rd.

3 Professor Alain Lempereur – “Responsible Leadership” (2014) Brandeis University, Heller School for Social Policy and Management, MA Coexistence and Conflict, Alan B. Slifka Chair When you choose one of the topics, please indicate which of the following formats you want to explore, and develop: . Theory Paper. Read one book on leadership or on a leader and determine how it addresses or not the question of responsibility. . Case Study. Expose a real-life case where leadership is required for coexistence or responsibility to protect, and how to exercise responsibility in this case. Whatever choice you make, your final topic should be validated by the instructor. As your final paper is an academic writing assignment, please use the APA writing format, with appropriate references to literature, readings, and or/lectures. A short bibliography will be expected. It is intended that the best and most relevant of case studies and theory papers might be publicized on the Coexistence web site at: http://www.brandeis.edu/coexistence/pubs/publications.html

In-Class Oral Presentation Each participant will summarize orally the major findings of his or her final paper on November 14th. He or she is encouraged to use a PPT presentation, with two or three slides maximum, to be submitted electronically on November 10th, in order to consolidate all students’ PPT presentation in one document. Each PPT presentation should be two or three slides (5 minutes). It will be followed by a short Q&A time. Participants will have a total of 10 minutes for both the presentation and Q&A. At the end of their presentation, participants are asked to identify a particularly good book, chapter, journal article, or web source, as to allow the class members to explore further the topic in question. After the oral presentation and its discussion, students are asked to reread, complete, and correct the draft of their paper they submitted on November 10th. Submission of the final version of their paper is due on November 21st.
