| Greetings! I hope your summer has been renewing and inspiring! And I wish you all the best in the coming year! I am delighted to share some of the exciting developments in the "Giving Voice To Values" approach to Values-Driven Leadership development! Please do visit www.GivingVoiceToValues.org to access the latest curriculum and to learn more. Here are a few of the highlights, thanks to the intellectual and pedagogical efforts of the GVV Network: · A NEW BOOK: EDUCATING FOR VALUES-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP: Giving Voice To Values Across the Curriculum – In this NEW BOOK, faculty share how they use GVV across disciplines and topics: Accounting, Economics, HRM, Operations Management, Public Sector Management, Negotiations, Marketing, Leadership, Sustainability, Social Entrepreneurship, Military Management and Ethics. For Information, visit http://www.businessexpertpress.com/books/educating-values-driven-leadership-giving-voice-values-across-curriculum · The CHINESE translation rights for Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right were just sold! And Chinese translations for some of the foundational GVV exercises will become available even sooner, in the next few months. Watch the curriculum website at www.GivingVoiceToValues.org and/or contact Mgentile3@babson.edu for more information. · GVV FACULTY CASE DEVELOPMENT COMPETITION: GVV has partnered with the United Nations Global Compact PRME and the North American Case Research Association to offer a $ 10,000 prize for the best GVV-style case and teaching note on an Anti-Corruption topic. For more information, contact Mgentile3@babson.edu · The June 2013 FACULTY CONFERENCE ON GVV was a grand success! We attracted an over-sold crowd of almost 100 educators from across the U.S., as well as Australia, Ireland, the Philippines, Peru and Canada. Faculty who have been using GVV showcased their applications in economics, international management, sustainability, entrepreneurship, business communications, negotiations, as well as ethics, and we heard from business practitioners who are using GVV in their leadership development offerings as well. · Indian GVV Case Development Initiative on Anti-Corruption launched in partnership with the United Nations Global Compact's PRME. A dozen faculty from Indian business schools are writing and piloting GVV cases and teaching notes on anti-corruption. The materials will be made available via the GVV Curriculum website in early 2014. · GVV in Nursing Education: A forthcoming paper on the use of GVV in the Nursing Curriculum at the University of Notre Dame Australia will be published in Collegian – The Austalian Journal of Nursing Practice, Scholarship & Research. Thanks to authors Bethne Hart, Cathy Costa and Sandra Lynch! · GVV in Police Training: Inspector Mark Harvey of the Queensland Police Force has integrated GVV into The Professional Standards Training Continuum for the QPS with great success! · GVV in Sports Training: Pippa Grange and Bluestone Edge have developed a training program on Anti-Homophobia and Inclusion in Sports based on GVV! Pippa is also working on a book on Ethics in Sports for the GVV Book Collection from Business Expert Press. · GVV in the Journal of Business Ethics: "Situating 'Giving Voice to Values': A Metatheoretical Evaluation of a New Approach to Business Ethics" by Mark G. Edwards and Nin Kirkham, JBE, May 2013, Pages 1-19. · NEW MATERIALS: Watch for a suite of new GVV materials which will be posted to the GVV Curriculum website this Fall. For example, look for Anne Lawrence's "The Midnight Journal Entry" (available now via HBS Publishing) and a set of videos developed by the University of Texas-Austin's "Ethics Unwrapped" series, among others. Contact Mgentile3@babson.edu for more information. We are also developing a partnership to develop an On-Line offering based on GVV. We will keep you posted! · The ECOA launched a new 7-week Webinar on Giving Voice To Values: How To Implement Ethics At Work with Mary C. Gentile, offered to corporate practitioners. The first course was a success and we plan to repeat it a couple times a year. · The SPANISH Language edition of Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right is already available: http://www.editorialproteus.com/cont/novedades/novedades_sola_cas.php?idField=77&table=novedades · AWARDS: GVV and Gentile were recognized with the "Humanistic Management Leadership Award for Teaching" at the Academy of Management in Orlando, FLA in August 2013. · NEW COURSE! We successfully piloted an Intensive GVV Elective in February/March 2013 at Babson. The course – When Leadership 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. 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: https://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Strategy/Strategic_Thinking/Voicing_values_in_the_workplace_2663?gp=1 · In addition to the growing ACADEMIC use, increasingly CORPORATE AUDIENCES are asking to learn more about GVV, for internal training and for leadership development purposes. Presentations for individual companies are on the rise. · A GVV WORKSHOP with POWERPOINTS and INSTRUCTOR GUIDELINES: Powerpoints and Instructor Guidelines have been developed to make it easier for faculty and managers to introduce GVV in their own programs. If you are an educator or company representative, contact Mgentile3@babson.edu if you are interested in the materials. · GVV VIDEO Project: Selected Faculty who are experienced with using GVV for Scripting and Action Planning in their courses are preparing demonstration videos to help introduce faculty and students to the GVV approach. We hope to make the first of these available in 2014. Let us know if you would like to participate. 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!
