Colloquium - "Make your Job a Calling"


 

Colloquium - Make your Job a Calling

The Fellows read excerpts from "Make your Job a Calling" by Bryan Dik, Ph.D., and Ryan Duffy, Ph.D., and explored how the psychology of vocation might alter their future lives at work.

Thank you to our speaker, Austin Webb, a successful investor and developer of small businesses in the NewOrleans area. Austin bought his first company at 29 and has continued to grow small businesses ever since. Also, it was an honor to have Fr. Peter Nguyen, SJ, Associate Professor of Theology from Creighton University, join us to provide a Jesuit perspective on vocation.
 
We are truly inspired by our Ethics Fellows and we can’t wait to see how each can contribute to the common good through their unique vocations!

Colloquium - Leadership

Leadership

Jordan Jones, S.J., Marine veteran and Jesuit joined us yesterday at the Ethics Fellows Colloquium at Loyola University New Orleans College of Business

The Fellows read excerpts from "Leading Marines, US Marines Corps, MCWP 6-11" to explore the importance of relationship and responsibility for all true leaders and the significance of selfless service and shared hardships.

"Ethical choices often involve a moral dilemma: the necessity to choose between competing obligations in circumstances that prevent one from doing both. But there is more action to it than this. Action is at the heart of ethical behavior. An academic understanding of what is right and wrong is irrelevant unless it is coupled to appropriate action. And even then, the answer is not always clear."

Mr. Jones explained that followership is just as important as leadership.Since every leader is also a follower, without loyal, dedicated followers there can be no effective leaders.
