Ethical Leadership Through Giving Voice to Values

43 calificaciones

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 welcome back.

Now I'd like to spend a little bit of time introducing you

to the Seven Pillars of giving voice to values.

These are the foundational ideas that the whole approach is based upon.

These pillars are basically insights or

observations that we've gathered from talking to and observing a lot

of people who have found ways to act on

their values and also times when they fail to act on their values

successfully and what they capture are the ways of thinking that

seem to make it easier for people to act

effectively on the values that seemed to enable them.

So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to go quickly through

the whole seven set of pillars and introduce you to them.

But then throughout the course of this class we'll have

a chance to look at each pillar in a little more depth.

But let me give you the overview right now.

You'll notice that each of the pillars attempts to answer one of the questions that are

very important questions to make you feel more

confident and more competent at acting on your values.

So let's look at the first pillar,

the first pillar is of course values.

And with this pillar we're trying to answer the question,

"What really are values, what art values?

Is there any common ground for people to talk to each

other across what may seem to be different values sets?"

The second pillar is purpose.

This is where we look at the question,

"What am I really working for?

What is important to me?

Why and how is my work meaningful and how can that

affect my ability to voice and act on my value?"

The third pillar is choice.

This is at the heart of giving voice to values.

It's really asking the question,

"Do we have one?

Do we believe we have one?

Do we feel that we have a choice?

And how can we make it possible for us to feel that we have a choice?"

The fourth pillar we call it normalization.

But really what it's doing is it's answering

the question is business ethics or values conflicts

the in our work lives or in our everyday lives or are

they just unnormal part of everyday living?

The fifth pillar is self-knowledge and alignment.

This is my favorite one.

This is where we ask and answer the question,

"Am I the kind of person who can do this?

Who can effectively voice and act on my values and if I fear I am not.

Are there ways that I can help myself

feel more confident and understand that I can do this?

What are the ways that we can do that?"

The sixth pillar is voice and what we're asking there is how can I find my own voice.

Are there some strategies and tactics I can use to find that voice to get more

comfortable with that voice to rehearse that voice so that it comes more naturally.

And then the final or seventh pillar is called reasons and rationalizations.

And this is where we identify the typical kinds of objections.

The pushback that you might encounter or maybe that you have

encountered when you've tried to voice and act on your values and then to talk about.

Given that these reasons and rationalizations are fairly predictable,

are there ways that we can practice responses to them and

get more comfortable with that and we'll have the opportunity to do just that.

Now you may have recognized the Seven Pillars.

They were categories in the GVV survey that you took

previously and so you've already answered a set of questions about

each of these pillars surfacing you're coming in assumptions or starting

assumptions about how you define these terms and how you think about yourself.

Over the course of this class.

What we're hoping as you go through each of

these pillars in a little more depth you'll have the opportunity to look back at the way

you answered those questions and to consider it ask yourself

based on what I'm hearing now based on what I'm learning based on what I'm practicing.

Might I come up with an alternative answer to

some of those questions and answer them might make it

even more likely that I feel competent and comfortable voicing and acting on my values.
