Storytelling Project: Outline
The Effect of Philosophical Thought on the Corporate Mindset
What
For my project, I will make a qualitative analysis on the effect
that Philosophical Thought has on the Corporate Mindset. Throughout my time at
the business school, I have come to notice several deficiencies that hinder professional
growth in students. The business program’s curriculum creates a strong emphasis
on quantitative analytical skills and the ability to think methodically. However,
students do not receive enough learning in abstract thinking and problem-solving.
I believe the existential concepts and rigorous critique of the content covered
in philosophy courses would be beneficial in developing a sense of morals and
ethics, something that is essential in compelling leaders. This story will
follow 2-3 students in their everyday lives, hearing about the thoughts,
struggles, aspirations, and challenges they encounter as they pursue career
goals and ambitions. I will incorporate their personal experiences with similar
experiences of leaders already deemed successful to offer a structured
comparison to historical results.
Who
The main focus of my project will revolve around fellow
colleagues, influential leaders throughout history who have been successful or
unsuccessful, and myself. I will be using my own thoughts, but also the
thoughts of 2-3 other students to broaden the scope of the story and get the
opinions of a diverse set of people. I will focus on what it means to be a
critical thinker and the motives behind their actions. These will be
substantiated with external research of successful influential leaders to
provide concrete examples of how our personal opinions can be amplified to
create an impact on society.
How
The main method for this project will be through interviews. I
find this provides the closest, most genuine medium for people to express their
thoughts. There will be a set of questions that will be used to interview each
student to maintain consistency; however, not all answers to each question will
be used. There will be either clips or photos for the visual aspect while each
person’s experiences provide a narrative in the background. When incorporating
historical figures, anecdotes will be used as well as a description of their
background. One consideration will be incorporating music which I am not
entirely sure if I will add, but that is something that I will have to decide
as I start working on the project.
