Ethical Leadership Through Giving Voice to Values

36 個評分

This course offers an action-oriented introduction to Giving Voice to Values (or GVV), an exciting new approach to values-driven leadership development in the workplace, in business education and in life. GVV is not about persuading people to be more ethical, but instead it starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values, but that we also want to feel that we have a reasonable chance of doing so effectively. Through positive, real life examples, pre-scripting, rehearsal and peer coaching, GVV builds the skill, the confidence and likelihood that we will act on our values more often and more successfully. Based on research and practice, with over 1,000 pilots in educational settings and companies on all seven continents, GVV helps answer the questions: “What if I were going to act on my values? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?” You will come away from this course with an expanded toolkit, as well as practice, in a variety of methods and techniques for voicing and enacting your own values and principles. You will develop and practice leadership skills in "peer coaching” with other learners. Through cases and stories based on recognizable workplace, classroom and life values conflicts, you will apply the GVV techniques and “re-frames”, expanding your repertoire for possible action as well as identifying and rehearsing responses that are likely to be most effective. Through this practice, you will gain greater confidence and competence in voicing and enacting your values effectively.

What is Giving Voice to Values? Why and How it Works

Welcome to week one of the course! What kinds of values conflicts have you experienced in your life? Has there been a time in your life where you have been faced with a values conflict and didn't know how to speak up, or what to say? During this week, you'll first be introduced to a story called The Client That Fell Through the Cracks. This story provides an example of the kind of values conflict that we all can encounter in the workplace, and how to address it by effectively acting on your values. Next, you'll explore what Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is and who uses it. You'll hear from practitioners in business, higher education, and the military in regards to why and how they used GVV to address their workplace challenges. We'll discover how research informs GVV in developing a moral muscle memory, and how this innovative approach is different from traditional approaches to ethics. Then you'll be briefly introduced to the seven pillars that form the foundation of GVV. Finally, we'll spend some time examining in more depth the first two pillars, Values and Purpose. By the end of this module, you'll realize in the face of values conflicts there is power and impact in asking yourself a new question, "What if I was going to act on my values--what would I say and do?"

So, hello again. I'd like to take a few minutes

now to talk about why you may want to take this course,

what you might get out of this course.

What we hope you will get out of this course.

We've all faced times in our lives,

in our work lives, and in our broader lives,

when we were faced with values conflicts and maybe we felt we didn't know how to speak.

We didn't know what to say.

We were afraid that even if we did speak,

no one would really pay attention to us.

Or we were afraid we might alienate someone who was important to us perhaps a boss,

or perhaps a friend, or a colleague.

And for all those reasons we just felt ill equipped to act on our values.

That's an uncomfortable position to be in and it can be very dispiriting.

What this course is about is actually helping us

to learn to have the skills, the competence,

the confidence, and the comfort to be able to

voice and act on our values effectively in those sorts of situations.

It's about enabling us to bring our whole selves to our workplace and to our wider lives.

We're going to do this in three ways.

We're going to share with you some of the research that

supports and explains what works and why it works.

We're going to share with you some case stories,

some case studies of people who have actually already done this

successfully as in the story of Susan and the client who fell through the cracks.

And we're also going to do it through,

and this is very important,

through pre-scripting, through practice,

and through peer coaching.

And you'll learn more about why that's so important later.

So what I like to do now is talk a little bit about the fact

that this course can be useful to many different sorts of learners.

So I don't know who all of you are but I'm

imagining that some of you may be managers and you may be

wanting to take this course because you want to learn to be able to create a culture in

an environment in your workplace that

enables your teams and your employees to work effectively.

You may be wanting to learn better how to speak up and act effectively

to your supervisors and to your bosses in the organization.

Or you're maybe people who are trying to design an initiative,

or a training program,

or some sort of experience for your employees that will enable them

to more effectively and more often act ethically in the workplace.

And you will be hearing from some managers later in the course, some interviews,

where they will share stories of how they have done this

using the Giving Voice to Values approach that you're learning about.

But some of you who are taking this course may be educators and faculty,

and what you are interested in,

I hope, is finding ways,

a methodology, ways that you might integrate and

prepare your students for ethical action within your own course.

Whether it's a finance course,

or an accounting class,

or a marketing class,

or a general management class, or anything else,

without your having to be a philosopher or to teach philosophy.

This will be about teaching people to act using the language, and the skills,

and the frameworks of your discipline,

but to pursue values driven leadership in their workplace.

And then there also maybe some of you in this course who are individual learners,

who simply want to learn about this methodology so

you can apply it more in your own life,

so that you can be feeling more confident and more

competent at acting on your own values more of the time.

So this course will be designed to address all of those issues.

Now, you might ask who is already using Giving Voice to Values.

It's a pretty large group.

There are nearly a thousand pilots that we know of.

There's many more because the materials are available for free online.

But but people who've actually contacted us it's nearly a thousand on

all seven continents including the Antarctic, believe it or not.

The work has been translated,

the books have been translated into Chinese,

and into Korean, and there's Thai translation coming.

Some of the materials have been developed into Russian and there's more,

more is still coming.

Some of the materials have been translated into

Flemish and it's being used with different sorts

of audiences although we originally developed

this curriculum for use with business schools,

business students and business faculty.

And it is being used in many,

many business schools around the world at the MBA level,

at the undergraduate level,

at the executive education level.

But now it's also being used by companies who want to

build this into their leadership development,

and their ethics development trainings within their organization.

It's been used in the U.S. military.

It's been used in the Australian police force.

Increasingly people are using it in healthcare education, nursing, and medicine.

And there are nonprofit organizations who have used this approach in their own work.

So it's grown quite widely beyond its original intent.

So the last thing I want to do right now is to ask you before you plunge into

this course is to take a moment to set

your intentions about what you want to get out of this course.

I don't know if you've noticed this

but what we know is that if people actually set their intention,

if you think consciously about what you want to get out of an experience.

And even if you actually express it,

say it out loud,

write it down, you're more likely to actually reap those benefits.

Because you're cued in,

you cued yourself mentally to be paying

attention to the lessons that are going to be useful to you.

So I'm going to ask you to set your intentions right now in two ways.

First, I'm going to ask you to take a moment and jot down the answers to two questions.

The first question is,

why do I think this course will be meaningful to me?

In other words, think about why did you pick it out of the course list?

Pay attention to the instinct or the appeal,

the draw, the need that you were responding to.

Take yourself seriously there.

So why do I think this course will be meaningful to me? Jot that down.

And then answer a second question,

what do I hope to accomplish by taking this course?

And maybe list out a few things that you hope you will be able to walk away with.

So that you will be listening for those things

and practicing those things as the course goes on.

And then the second thing I'd like you to do is take a look at

the required course materials that come along with

this course and you're going to see something called the GVV survey,

and I'm going to ask you to complete that survey.

What that survey is that it's brief and it's just a set of questions that are

intended to surface some of your starting assumptions about how you think about values,

about how you think about values conflicts,

about how you think about your own capacity to act effectively,

about what you think is possible.

We want you to do that now at the beginning of the course

because as the course proceeds and we revisit the topics on

that survey you may hear things that either support

your coming in assumptions or maybe differ from your coming in assumptions.

And this is going to be a way for you to begin to assess and think about,

am I changing any of my views here?

Am I making it more possible for me to act on

my values by thinking about values in a different way?

And so, that's a very important first step.

So what I'd like to do now, if you will,

is just take a moment and complete that survey.
