Dr Mary C. Gentile - Ethical Leadership: Giving Voice to Values

Author: Our Community May 29, 2018 Duration: 39:52
“Most of us want to act ethically, but it's not always that simple, amiright? We start with the best of intentions but then we bang up against the realities of what the boss wants, the clients are shouting at us, the kids need us to get home ("stat!"), we have to sort out an issue with the plumbing, and we haven't had a proper holiday in a thousand years. American leadership guru Mary Gentile knows all about it. She's pioneered a leadership development approach, Giving Voice to Values, that starts from the assumption that most can take to lea over, around or through the barriers that inevitable arise along the way between our ethical intentions and our actions."

There’s a powerful conversation happening in towns and suburbs across Australia, driven by people who are rolling up their sleeves to make real change. Communities in Control captures that energy and brings it directly to you.

Presented by Our Community, the podcast serves as both a source of inspiration and a practical toolkit, offering stories that recharge your drive and demonstrate what’s possible when people come together. It’s for anyone interested in the mechanics of social good, from government and non-profit professionals to passionate volunteers looking to deepen their impact.
