Intelligent, smart people are aplenty in management education but do not have the insight of observing is-sues in totality. This opinion came up during a session on ethics and values in leadership during a symposium at India’s pioneer management institute, the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A).
The IIM-A conducted this conference for its society members for the second time in 50 years. The conference lasted for two days, which began on August 17, 2012 in the campus premises of IIM-A.
The theme of the conference was ‘Leadership and Governance,’ where the role of ethics and values in leadership, importance of management, laws, effective communication and trade leadership were discussed.
The conference was inaugurated by IIM-A director Samir Barua. The faculty at IIM-A, who have excellence in leadership and governance gave insight into issues in these avenues of management.
“Ethics is an integral part of leadership. In many cases, decisions taken by managers are simply wrong and unethical. But in most others, there are options equally unfavorable or mutually exclusive involved. Therefore, education must be a mix of ethics, character, value and skills,” opines a former professor at IIM-A, while presenting his opinion on Ethics and Values in Leadership.
IIM-A has alliances with 75 business schools in various management programs. IIM-A’s post graduate program in Agri-business Management has been ranked as number one in the world by EDUNIVERSAL, a France-based agency. Almost 10 per cent of IIM-A’s alumni are businessmen who have also created establishments in the social sector and helped social improvement.
