Dean, School of Undergraduate Studies

Thank you for such a well-organized review of the ethical dilemmas that leaders of all sorts must face. The Ethics Unwrapped videos and teaching notes seem very thorough and easy to understand. I simply wanted to share that with you and to applaud your efforts in this area. Keep up the good work.

~ John Yates

The University of Texas at Austin

The videos are short enough to fit into a lecture class format, but meaty enough to spark thoughtful discussion. My students appreciate having the concepts explained by students like them using examples that are familiar.

The series of videos, discussion questions and teaching notes that you have created are fantastic! I’ve been searching the web trying to find engaging videos that address ethical topics and your work is exactly the type of thing I was hoping to find! Such an amazing resource that you all have created! I will definitely incorporate some of these into my class, our leadership and ethics workshops, etc. I will also share them with others. I am amazed by all the work that you have done to make some complex terms understandable to the average student.

A phenomenal resource. The Ethics Unwrapped behavioral ethics elements have been an excellent addition to UW’s business ethics course. Thank you!

In the fall I attended two national conferences focused on leadership education. At both venues, colleagues from other institutions shared their use and appreciation for Ethics Unwrapped. These interactions clearly demonstrated Ethics Unwrapped is recognized and valued beyond the University of Texas at Austin campus.

~ Dave Dessauer

Thanks for this wonderful teaching guide [Curated Resources]! … I deeply appreciate the philosophy literature, but like you, see a better place for behavioral ethics in these professional contexts.

~ David Niño, Ph.D.

Especially powerful, I think, are the outtakes with the UT students, which underscore the ‘lecture’ beautifully. That technique carries a lot of weight with the student viewer (and this viewer (no spring chicken!)).

I’m teaching a values-based MBA leadership course for the first time and I’m so delighted to learn about the resources on Giving Voice to Values. It’s a great way to illustrate and illuminate for the students what might appear at first as abstract and inaccessible constructs.
