Routledge Giving Voice to Values: An Innovation and Impact Agenda

Product Description Giving Voice to Values, under the leadership of Mary Gentile, has fundamentally changed the way business ethics and values-driven leadership is taught and discussed in academic and corporate settings worldwide. This book shifts attention to the future of Giving Voice to Values (GVV) and provides thought pieces from practitioners and leading experts in business ethics and the professions on the possibilities for sustaining its growth and success. These include the creation of new teaching materials, reaching different audiences, and expanding the ways in which GVV is making a difference in classrooms and the workplace and acting as a catalyst for organizational and societal change. The book closes with a reflective chapter by Mary Gentile, looking back at where GVV has been and looking ahead to where GVV might go. Review "The power of an idea can often be measured by its ability to scale across settings and geographies. With this new volume Gentile and Goodstein have demonstrated a reach that goes far beyond the business school curriculum. Giving Voice to Values has truly become a methodology for the development of ethical leaders…anywhere they might be! A truly valuable compendium of reports and insights." - Leonard A. Schlesinger, Baker Foundation Professor, Harvard Business School, President Emeritus-Babson College "In business ethics teaching we often remain stuck in analyzing what is wrong out there. You want to equip students and professionals with a hands-on action framework? Use the Giving Voice to Values framework. This book will further spur Giving Voice to Values’ success as the leading action framework to business ethics." - Markus Scholz, Chair and Endowed Professor of Corporate Governance & Business Ethics, Head of the Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainable Strategy (IBES), University of Applied Science Vienna. "The Giving Voice to Values approach to ethical leadership has already empowered countless individuals worldwide. This has been a great benefit to all who seek to develop responsible leaders and this volume provides timely lessons learned and important insights in pursuit of that goal." - Scott Beardsley, Dean, University of Virginia Darden School of Business "Companies need to get beyond the debate about why people don’t speak up in challenging situations and instead focus on helping their people become more skilled at speaking up effectively. GVV is an innovative, evidence-based approach to building those skills, and in the challenging times we are facing, we need them more than ever. This book helps us to understand why integrating GVV into your curriculum for employees at every level, from recent college graduates to the members of your C-suite, will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the ethical culture of your company for years to come." - Victoria Sweeney, Principal – Ethics & Compliance Group, KPMG LLP "The broad appeal of Giving Voice To Values’ innovative approach to values-driven leadership development is rooted in its practicality -- an orientation toward acting on one’s values, effectively and with conviction. Gentile and Goodstein’s new book chronicles how this methodology has expanded well beyond its original roots in business education – to cross regions and cultures, professions and sectors – and it offers an exciting glimpse into its potential future applications and impacts." - Judy Samuelson, Executive Director, Aspen Institute Business & Society Program and author, The Six New Rules of Business: Creating Real Value in a Changing World "This publication provides convincing evidence of how GVV developed into an effective and sustainable approach to values-driven action for individuals faced with everyday ethical dilemmas, teachers wanting to develop the moral competence of their students, and leaders building ethical organizational cultures.
