What does it mean to judge well, and to lead others responsibly when rules run out? Beginning from the government of the self, this course reads across Confucian, Daoist, Indic, Islamic, Greek, and modern traditions, alongside leadership studies and the science of decision. Through classic texts, tragedy, history, and live deliberation, students cultivate attention, practical wisdom, frank speech, and accountability: the capacities leadership requires in an age of crisis and artificial intelligence.
