Despite four decades of good faith effort to teach ethics in business schools, you’ll still find today headlines about egregious excess and scandal.

Introduction to Giving Voice to Values
CHAPTER 1
Educating for Values-Driven Leadership
Giving Voice to Values Across the Curriculum
Mary C. Gentile
Abstract
Traditional approaches to education for values-driven leadership in management education have
lacked an emphasis on actual rehearsal— the preparation for action that builds confidence as well
as competence. Giving Voice to Values is an innovative pedagogy and curriculum that addresses
this gap. Its focus is on literal prescripting and action planning, and it was developed to directly
address the challenges faced by educators in the core business functions when they consider ways
to integrate discussions of values into their curriculum. Its rapid adoption, across business
, functions and around the world and in businesses as well as educational settings, demonstrates its
usefulness.
Keywords
leadership, values, ethics, business ethics, Giving Voice to Values, pedagogy, curriculum,
management education, business education.

Origins and Rationale Behind the Giving Voice to Values Approach
Increasingly “Values-Driven Leadership”—the aspiration, the competency and the commitment—
has become an explicit objective for business educators and business practitioners alike. The
prevailing wisdom is that organizations that want to insure ethical decision making and behavior
in the workplace will do better by appealing to employee values and by affirming positive
organizational goals, than by focusing exclusively or even primarily on a rules and compliance
orientation. Business and educational thoughts leaders from Jim Collins to Lynn Sharp Paine have
made this point, and the emphasis on leadership curriculum in management education is a
reflection of this shift.
Ethics education in business schools, however, although also receiving an increasing amount
of attention—often not so positive—from the management education accrediting bodies, from the
business press and, accordingly, from business school deans, has not always reflected the power
of this aspiration and competency-based orientation. In fact, business ethics education has too often
remained the realm of “thou shalt not” rather than appealing to a sense of purpose and building a
skillbased confidence and moral competence. For business students and practitioners, ethics
education’s emphasis on action constraints is not very appealing. These are the sorts of people who
are motivated by the desire for achievement and accomplishment; they want to build enterprises,
to create new products and services, to reach new markets and, of course, to make money.
