The Giving Voice to Values Curriculum
Giving Voice to Values (GVV) is an innovative approach to values-driven leadership development in business education and the workplace. Piloted in nearly 1,000 schools, companies and other organizations on all seven continents, the Giving Voice to Values curriculum offers practical exercises, cases, modules, scripts and teaching plans for handling a wide range of ethical conflicts in the workplace.
A Unique Approach to Values-Driven Leadership Development
GVV is not about persuading people to be more ethical. Rather GVV 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 and successfully. This pedagogy and curriculum are about raising those odds. Rather than a focus on ethical analysis, the Giving Voice to Values (GVV) curriculum focuses on ethical implementation and asks the question: “What if I were going to act on my values? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?”
Drawing on the actual experience of business practitioners as well as social science and management research, GVV helps students, business leaders, employees, and other practitioners identify the many ways that individuals can and do voice their values in the workplace, and provides the opportunity to script and practice this voice in front of their peers. To learn more about GVV, please visit http://www.darden.virginia.edu/ibis/initiatives/giving-voice-to-values/.
Currently available materials are listed below. You can download a zip file of all the student materials or simply download one piece at a time. Additional materials are always in development, so please check back periodically.

For an example of a potential GVV elective course, see Leadership When it Really Counts: An Action Practicum (PDF opens in a new window).
"Ethical Leadership Through Giving Voice To Values"—a 4-week online MOOC offered by University of Virginia Darden School of Business in partnership with Coursera—offers an introduction to the GVV approach for corporate users, educators, students, and individual learners. For information, see https://www.coursera.org/learn/uva-darden-giving-voice-to-values or contact gentilem@darden.virginia.edu.
Also available is a series of six new interactive, online, social-cohort–based modules that introduce the core GVV concepts and methodologies and provide opportunities to practice with these approaches as a foundation for subsequent in-person exchanges. These modules are short, customizable, and creatively designed to incorporate brief cases; clear and compelling presentation of core concepts; engaging animations and powerful video segments; and opportunities to engage in face-to-face and virtual peer exchanges. Please take a look at https://nomadiclearning.com/solutions/giving-voice-to-values. Email Mary Gentile (gentilem@darden.virginia.edu) for the demo.
The GVV video series presents a framework for helping people to act on their values. GVV starts from the premise that most of us already want to act on our values, but are unsure of how to do so. Whether we are leaders or employees, every one of us has been confronted with a situation that has challenged our values. This three-hour video series focuses on ethical implementation and asks the questions: "What if I were going to act on my values? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?" http://store.darden.virginia.edu/an-introduction-to-giving-voice-to-values-video-playlist-1
