BUS 330 The Vocation of the Business Leader
While strengthening the habits of effective self-leadership and the development of healthy teams gained in BUS 130 and 230, students in the third course reflect on how business as a vocation can be a force for good. By examining the stories of great business leaders alongside Catholic social teaching, students gain conviction and practical insight for how they can serve the common good through their own business practices. They learn to embrace work as a primary context for building healthy cultures of personal vocation and growth in faith. Students also gain insight into how they can live their faith in the largely secular business environment of the contemporary world. Students will prepare a capstone paper that applies concepts related to personal strengths, the development of healthy teams, and leadership to demonstrate how business can be a force for good by advancing the dignity of work, the dignity of the worker, the common good, subsidiarity, and/or ongoing conversion and our quest for holiness.
