The adage goes, “An ounce of practice outweighs a ton of knowledge.” Mary C. Gentile, Ph.D., has developed the “Giving Voice to Values” (GVV) Curriculum with emphasis on practicing ethics at the workplace – “Rather than the usual focus on ethical analysis, the GVV curriculum focuses on ethical implementation and asks the question: What would I say and do if I were going to act on my values?” (See

“Challenging the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools, [Gentile] argues that often the issue isn’t distinguishing what is right or wrong, but knowing how to act on your values despite opposing pressure. Drawing on actual business experiences as well as social science research, [in the GVV book] Gentile offers advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas.” (See
