About the Course

This course offers an action-oriented introduction to Giving Voice to Values (or GVV), an exciting new approach to values-driven leadership development in the workplace, in business education and in life. GVV is not about persuading people to be more ethical, but instead it 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. Through positive, real life examples, pre-scripting, rehearsal and peer coaching, GVV builds the skill, the confidence and likelihood that we will act on our values more often and more successfully. Based on research and practice, with over 1,000 pilots in educational settings and companies on all seven continents, GVV helps answer the questions: “What if I were going to act on my values? What would I say and do? How could I be most effective?” This course was developed at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and is taught by top-ranked faculty. You will come away from GVV with an expanded toolkit, as well as practice, in a variety of methods and techniques for voicing and enacting your own values and principles. You will develop and practice leadership skills in "peer coaching” with other learners. Through cases and stories based on recognizable workplace, classroom and life values conflicts, you will apply the GVV techniques and “re-frames”, expanding your repertoire for possible action as well as identifying and rehearsing responses that are likely to be most effective. Through this practice, you will gain greater confidence and competence in voicing and enacting your values effectively....

The content in this course matches what you will face in the real world and gives an accurate portrayal to the true dilemma in ethical behavior in organizations. I very much enjoyed this course!

New insights were gained on values through this course. The discussions were very helpful. Now, I understand more other people and learned how to react on challenging situations.

Not engaging material. Transcriptions are poorly proof read and formatted. Too much of the instruction is just a talking head on a white background. Personal stories were too specific to the speaker to be useful generally. Coursera's UI needs a lot of work. The course could be a short pamphlet. The assignments were frustrating to complete, partially due to Coursera's UI and partially because of the content. Would not recommend.

I didn´t like the course because the content is all in video, with no PPT support or one pagers support. The course was too extense, and the evaluations too, and all the content was given by only one speaker, so it was too dense.

Interesting course, but a lot of users violate the Honour Code and are operating fraudulently. I had my submission plagiarised multiple times (which I could tell because of the unique wording I used to express the situation).
