Maintaining Your Honor and Core Values at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business
At Fuqua, our aspiration is not only to educate outstanding managers; it is also to create ethical leaders capable of transforming businesses through inspired leadership. While at Fuqua you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of academic, leadership, and extracurricular endeavors, that will help you cultivate the needed skills to be a leader of consequence.
The Fuqua Values are ideals that foster trust, responsibility and unity. The Fuqua Values Statement clearly lays out the standards Fuqua students commit to upon entering the program. Such standards create a respectful, courteous, and supportive environment and marks Fuqua students as courageous leaders in the global business community.
This importance of this commitment is discussed during one of your first classes here at Fuqua; Leadership, Ethics, and Organizations (LEO). LEO explores the intersection of leadership, values, and ethics in a team-based environment and prepares students to effectively lead and manage regardless of career path. It provides personal insight and serves as a strong foundation for further classes and extra-curricula engagement.
During the Fall terms, students participate in a number of activities through a semester long course entitled Consequential Leadership (C-LEAD 1). C-LEAD 1 is an experiential complement that cements the learning introduced in LEO. C-lead also helps build community and adds further purpose and vision to the Fuqua experience.
As you transition out of your core courses into the electives of Spring 1 and 2, students can pursue a number of concentrations, including a concentration in Leadership and Ethics. Designed for students interested in deepening their understanding of the frameworks and principles surrounding leadership and ethics training. Student must take the two required courses (MGMT 423 Leadership; MGMT 425 Business Ethics) and then choose four elective courses from designated classes at Fuqua, the Law School, School of Public Policy, Divinity School, or at the Kenan Institute for Ethics here at Duke. Courses help student develop meaningful frameworks and principles of leadership and ethics. Your second year begins with Consequential Leadership-2 (C-LEAD 2), a week-long course that builds on the concepts and skills mastered in C-LEAD 1, and challenges students to reflect upon their leadership development. While fun, students are also coached on actionable steps they can take to be more effective leaders during their second year and post graduation, and how they can elevate the conversation of ethical leadership to a community level.
Outside of the classroom, students can help promote the culture of Honor and Ethics at Fuqua and beyond through participation in the Fuqua Honor Campaign or by serving as a Judicial or Honor Representative. The Honor Campaign includes initiatives around celebrating honorable moments, initiating discussion around ethical challenges, hosting the Honor Symposium, and collaborating with student professional clubs and alumni.
There are many leadership opportunities at Fuqua that provide an opportunity to practice and develop skills in a safe and supportive environment, particularly within the Center for Organizational Leadership and Ethics (COLE). COLE is home to a signature leadership fellowship, and was established by Fuqua in collaboration with the Kenan Institute for Ethics and Duke University Athletics to leverage the resources and practical experiences of leading academic and practitioner institutions and individuals to respond to today's need for ethical leaders and their leadership development.
All of these opportunities serve to create Fuqua’s signature ‘Leaders of Consequence.’ These remarkable leaders will inspire others to exceed expectations through courageous actions of selfless service, incredible acumen and unwavering integrity.
