Ethical Distance Education Leaders - Brent Muirhead, USDLA
The focus of this discussion will be on the importance of having ethical distance education leaders who creatively empower their employees to promote greater productivity. Educating adults is a vital business that requires capable leaders who are conscious of their need for continuous professional growth.... For distance education, these translate to lack of administrative support, faculty negativity, overworked support staff, and high technology costs. The list contains a diversity of problems and highlights the importance of having leaders who create a system of accountability that represents the interests of major stakeholders. Ultimately, company oversight must come from leaders who are competent, visionary and ethical in their daily activities (Charan & Useem, 2002). This is equally true of education, and especially pertinent in the distance learning arena.
