GIVING VOICE TO VALUES 2
Giving Voice to Values
Giving Voice to Values: How to Speak Your Mind When You Know What’s Right is a
book by Mary C. Gentile (2010). The author is a senior research scholar, an adviser, and an
independent consultant in various institutions. The book follows an approach towards the
development of leadership in business education and work environments. The Giving Voice
to Values (GVV) program follows a curriculum, which centralized around implementing
ethical values. The book is divided into nine chapters with different chapters addressing
specific issues that involve ethical dilemmas. In this essay, I will focus on providing an
assessment of the book with special attention paid to the lesson learned from the book and
how to approach ethical dilemmas.
The author writes about the actions we make based on values in the work
environment. According to Gentile, the observations people make should be based on
awareness of ethical issues and being able to analyze what the right thing to do is in a specific
circumstance. Here, the author attempts to debate that sometimes we can experience external
pressure, which during the attempt to make a decision based on what we believe is right. In
such situations, we should learn to have confidence, and learn the habit of voicing our values.
The author argues that it is important for us to hand value encounters which arise in
our lives and our businesses more successfully and in a confident manner when we recognize
in advance that such moral engagements are a regular part of life and business. Making sure
that we rehearse challenging circumstances or conversations which form a daily part of living
and work, can make ethics to conflict easily and resolve in a manner that is professional and
productive despite specific concerns about possible outcomes on an important professional
relationship.
