“The unique and critically important contribution of Giving Voice to Values is that it moves us past the debate about whether we can define a common set of values, to focus instead on a shared conversation about just how to enact the values that we already know, in our deepest selves, are absolutely essential. The book is both an inspiration and a blueprint, and lays out the kind of discussion I believe is required for business education and business practice—in India and around the world.”—Nandan Nilekani, author of Imagining India
“A wonderful guide to help us enter an era of responsibility and of leadership based on values.”—Walter Isaacson, CEO, Aspen Institute
“Mary Gentile’s Giving Voice to Values is a clarion call to the new generation of leaders to put their values in practice in the workplace. Its timely and thoughtful message is precisely what the corporate world needs now.”—Bill George, executive fellow, Harvard Business School, and former CEO, Medtronic
“Mary Gentile documents a fascinating tool to help us to be as ethical as we strive to be. She highlights that rehearsing for ethically challenging situations may allow us to develop a response more in line with our ethical preferences than the knee jerk responses that have led so many to make the wrong choice in important situations. The ideas in the book are clever, original, thoughtful and important.”—Max H. Bazerman, Straus Professor, Harvard Business School
“Giving Voice to Values heralds a revolution in ethics education. Gentile . . . wants to help you practice what to do when you know something is unethical. It’s like a self-defense class for your soul.”—Dan and Chip Heath, authors of Switch and Made to Stick
