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, is inspired by a curriculum she launched at the Aspen Institute with the Yale School of Management, with interim support from Babson College, and now based at University of Virginia Darden School of Business. It has been piloted and/or shared in well over 1,300 educational and organizational settings on all seven continents.
Challenging the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools, Gentile 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. Published by Yale University Press, Giving Voice to Values is an engaging, innovative and useful guide that’s essential reading for anyone in business.
