Inventor of the Week - Lemelson-MIT

Karen Phelan is sorry. She really is. She tried to do business by the numbers — the management consultant way — developing measures, optimizing processes, and quantifying performance. The only problem is that businesses are run by people. And people can’t be plugged into formulas or summed up in scorecards.

Her recently published book, I’m Sorry I Broke Your Company, When Management Consultants are the Problem, Not the Solution is a tragi-comic tale of how consulting practices often go awry and is currently available all over the world. Karen has been featured in Fortune online, Leadership Excellence magazine, the AMA Newsletter, as well various business blogs and radio shows and has recently been a featured speaker at the national HR Summit of the Conference Board of Canada.

How can you effectively stand up for your values when pressured by your boss, colleagues, customers, or shareholders to do the opposite?

Educator Mary Gentile empowers business leaders with the skills to voice and act on their values and align their professional path with their principles. Her book, Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right, Yale University Press, is inspired by a curriculum Gentile launched at the Aspen Institute with Yale School of Management, now housed at Babson College, and which has been piloted in well over 500 sites on all seven continents.

Challenging the assumptions about business ethics at companies and business schools, she 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, Gentile offers advice, practical exercises, and scripts for handling a wide range of ethical dilemmas. Join us for a fascinating interview and join in the conversation.

“Giving Voice to Values heralds a revolution in ethics education. Gentile isn't interested in abstract (and often fruitless) debates about ethical principles — rather, she wants to help you practice what to do when you know something is unethical. It’s like a self-defense class for your soul.” — Dan and Chip Heath, authors of Switch and Made to Stick

We talk about the glass ceiling and we talk about “leaning in,” but do we talk about the impact of a male dominated culture on breaking the glass? Do we talk about the barriers to “leaning in” that can only be eradicated when we are free to honestly discuss sexism? Many women identify as “feminists” but feel compelled to downplay those beliefs in their careers.

Nicole Baran is an entrepreneur who has integrated feminism in the organizations she has built—with a nonprofit taking action to end violence against women and a foundation funding programs that increase the representation of women in STEM (STEM is an acronym for the fields of study in the categories of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). From mentoring young leaders to developing personnel policies on relationship abuse to having the tough conversations, she will be talking about what we all can do to bring feminism into our professional lives and why it will advance all of our careers.

Nicole Baran is the Executive Director of the Peggy and Jack Baskin Foundation which funds innovative strategies for eliminating obstacles facing marginalized populations, with an emphasis on empowering women and promoting educational equality. She established the infrastructure and direction of the Foundation and became the first Executive Director in 2009.

Nicole is also the Executive Director and Founder of the Center for Relationship Abuse Awareness, a non profit that has trained 9,000 individuals and engaged 100 young leaders in the movement to end violence against women through its Next Generation Internship Program. Their innovative website, www.stoprelationshipabuse.org has provided professional resources to over 300,000 individuals across 196 countries.

Nicole has been teaching in the Feminist Studies Program at Stanford University since 2007 after developing Violence Against Women: Theory, Issues and Prevention. In 2006, she successfully partnered with Stanford University to institutionalize a comprehensive response to gender-based violence on campus. She managed a five-year grant from the USDOJ Office on Violence Against Women and was instrumental in implementing Stanford’s first Office on Sexual Assault and Relationship Abuse. She has delivered over 300 customized workshops, locally and nationwide, at organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, the San Francisco Bar Association, and California’s State Domestic Violence Coalition.

Nicole received her BA and MA in English from Stanford University and a Masters in Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis, with a specialization in management and a focus on women’s rights.
