| Greetings! I hope you are well and thriving! I am delighted to share some of the exciting developments with the "Giving Voice To Values" approach to Values-Driven Leadership development! Please do visit www.GivingVoiceToValues.org and www.GivingVoiceToValuesTheBook.com to access the curriculum and learn more. Here are a few of the highlights, thanks to the intellectual and pedagogical efforts of the GVV Network: - We successfully launched and have begun piloting the NEW SERIES OF 6 ONLINE, INTERACTIVE, SOCIAL COHORT-BASED MODULES that introduce the core GVV concepts and methodologies. These modules are short, customizable and creatively designed to incorporate brief cases; clear and compelling presentation of core GVV concepts; engaging animations and powerful video segments; opportunities to practice application of the GVV methodologies; and opportunities to engage in peer exchanges. Please do take a look at the program detail and contact Mgentile3@babson.edu if you are interested in learning more.
- GVV, in tandem with NACRA, has launched a $5,000 Prize for the Best GVV-Style Case Study and Teaching Note. Deadline: June 12, 2015. Details will be posted at www.nacra.net in early 2015, or contact Mgentile3@babson.edu.
- International accounting honor society Beta Alpha Psi has given one of four 2014 Ethics Awards to Washington State University- Vancouver's Nu Theta chapter for their innovative student-led GVV initiative! Using a peer-to-peer implementation of the Giving Voice to Values (GVV) framework, the WSU upper class students introduced and coached sophomores on the approach and its application.
- GVV Book Series Launched with Business Expert Press! The first book is out: Pippa Grange's Ethical Leadership in Sport: What's Your ENDgame? Jessica McManus' Engaging Millennials for Ethical Leadership: What Works for Young Professionals and Their Managers will be out in 2015. Quite a few other books have been signed already; contact Mgentile3@babson.edu if you would like to submit a proposal.
- The CHINESE Translation of "Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What is Right" is available! A special "Thank You!" to Liang Yu, recent Duke MBA graduate for his careful work with the translation.
- The KOREAN Translation of "Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What is Right" will be out next year! Stay tuned. And a reminder that the Spanish Translation is already available as well.
- New Publications: There are many new articles dealing with GVV recently published and/or forthcoming in books and journals (Journal of Business Ethics, Teaching Philosophy, etc.) over the next few months. Topics address GVV in: Management Education; Corporate Training; Nursing Education; Student Affairs initiatives; Performative Ethics; UNGC PRME; etc., etc. For more information, see the "Other Writings" tab at www.MaryGentile.com and/or contact Mgentile3@babson.edu.
- Region-Specific GVV Curriculum Collections: The GVV/INDIA Curriculum Collection is well launched with 10 new cases written by Indian faculty! Deep gratitude to the faculty authors, their case subjects and to the United Nations Global Compact PRME initiative for funding this project, and to our wonderful Project Manager, Debra Wheat! The cases are posted at the GVV Curriculum webpage.
If you are interested in launching such a collection in your region, contact Mgentile3@babson.edu. - GVV On The Move: Programs in Costa Rica, Canada, Germany, Egypt and all over the U.S. are already planned for 2015.
- GVV COURSE! An Intensive GVV Elective has been piloted at Babson. The course - Leadership When It Really Counts: An Action Practicum - has 3 components: (1) students are introduced to and experience GVV themselves; (2) they develop GVV cases and teaching plans in a functional area or industry of their choice; and then (3) they deliver the material to their peers in a workshop format. This LEARN-CREATE-SHARE model allows students to develop Peer Coaching Skills in enacting their values and allows their institutions the chance to develop a co-branded collection of GVV materials. The course can be offered as a regular course, a half course and/or a two-weekend intensive workshop/course. If you or one of your colleagues would like to offer this course, please contact us for more information: Mgentile3@babson.edu.
- VIDEOS, ARTICLES, INTERVIEWS, OP-EDS: There are lots of other materials that can be used in your teaching at the book website, www.MaryGentile.com , under the "Media Room" and the "Other Writing" tabs. Most of them are FREE. Of particular interest is the 8 minute video introduction to GVV from McKinsey Quarterly.
I will stop there but there is always more and your ideas and contributions are always welcome and HUGELY appreciated. Be in touch ANY TIME!
Thank you and Cheers! Mary C. Gentile PhD, Mgentile3@babson.edu Director, Giving Voice To Values, Babson College www.GivingVoiceToValues.org www.MaryGentile.com |
