Giving Voice to Values: The "How" of Values-Driven LeadershipWith Mary Gentile Monday, November 18th from 1 pm to 2 pm PST How can you effectively stand up for your values when pressured by your boss, colleagues, customers, or shareholders to do the opposite? Educator Mary Gentile empowers business leaders with the skills to voice and act on their values and align their professional path with their principles. Her book, Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right, Yale University Press, is inspired by a curriculum Gentile launched at the Aspen Institute with Yale School of Management, now housed at Babson College, and which has been piloted in well over 500 sites on all seven continents. Challenging the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools, she argues that often the issue isn’t distinguishing what is right or wrong, but knowing how to act on your values despite opposing pressure. Drawing on actual business experiences as well as social science research, Gentile offers advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas. Join us for a fascinating interview and join in the conversation. “Giving Voice to Values heralds a revolution in ethics education. Gentile isn't interested in abstract (and often fruitless) debates about ethical principles — rather, she wants to help you practice what to do when you know something is unethical. It’s like a self-defense class for your soul.” — Dan and Chip Heath, authors of Switch and Made to Stick Mary C.
