Lead with your values. Advance your career.

G. Richard Shell is a global thought leader and senior faculty member at one of the world’s leading business schools, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He serves as Chair of Wharton’s Legal Studies and Business Ethics Department, the largest department of its kind in the world. His forthcoming book, The Conscience Code: Lead with Your Values. Advance Your Career addresses an increasingly urgent problem in today’s workplace: standing up for core values such as honesty, fairness, personal dignity, and justice when the pressure is on to look the other way. 

Show Highlights
  • “Changing curriculum in an academic setting is like moving a cemetery.”
  • Your job as a leader is to find the real reason for behavior.
  • “Trial balloons” bring out the best work. 
  • What pushes people to silence during tough conversations? 
  • Useful tools to sell compromise as a worthy victory. 
  • The “magic sauce” of negotiations. 
  • Be more effective champions for their values. 
  • Be able to speak truth to power effectively with the power of 2.

 

“One of the reasons that it worked was because I did my preliminary due diligence, and then I started with two assumptions and they were non-negotiable. One was, we were not going to lead an initiative to make the students learn. The other was, we're not going to lead an initiative to make the faculty change. A program that you design to make the students learn is going to fail because you have to bring students along. Education, the word means, "bring it out of you." It doesn't mean cram it in to you.” 

-Richard Shell

TEACHFX

School leaders know that productive student talk drives student learning, but the average teacher talks 75% of class time! TeachFX is changing that with a “Fitbit for teachers” that automatically measures student engagement and gives teachers feedback about what they could do differently.

Organized Binder is the missing piece in many classrooms. Many teachers are great with the main content of the lesson. Organized Binder helps with powerful introductions, savvy transitions, and memorable lesson closings. Your students will grow their executive functioning skills (and as a bonus), your teachers will become more organized too. Help your students and staff level up with Organized Binder.
