Socratic Dialogue: Voicing Values: Giving Voice to Values

Autor Sira Abenoza, Josep M. Lozano
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 feb 2024
Giving Voice to Values is a very important tool that has helped many professionals better align what they do with what they value and believe. This book introduces the methodology of Socratic Dialogue as a complementary set of tools for creating spaces of joint reflection in which one can gain clarity about one’s values and gain the confidence to voice them effectively.
Socrates’ main concern was to progressively reach a higher alignment between ideas and actions: that is, to achieve a harmony between what we think, what we say and what we do. The first step to giving voice to our values involves introspection and dialogue with others – which is how we can become aware of what we really think and value. An examined life, Socrates reminds us, is a fulfilled one. Based on the authors' more than ten years’ experience teaching Socratic Dialogue to business and law students, executives and professionals, faculty, incarcerated people and other vulnerable groups, the book provides teachers and practitioners with a roadmap to conceive, design and conduct Socratic Dialogue courses and sessions. It provides context for the method and its adaptation to the challenges of the 21st century. The book also offers guidance on how to structure a Socratic Dialogue classroom, as well as a series of tried-and-true activities and exercises, practical recommendations and testimonies of the transformative impact that dialogue courses have had on participants.
The book is of prime interest to professors and educators of business ethics, as well as professional consultants working to help organizations become more responsible and introduce ethical reasoning in their decisions. It also serves as a valuable resource for social educators and practitioners in prisons and rehabilitation units, as well as teachers in primary and secondary education.

Recenzii

“In a time of rampant miscommunication, we need to relearn real dialogue. With over 10 years of experience training business students and managers in Socratic Dialogue, Abenoza and Lozano offer a persuasive way to comprehend, engage and train this pedagogy of dialogue. On a solid philosophical foundation, they share many useful didactic tools, tips and exercises to practice Socratic Dialogue that effectively gives voice to values, illustrated by a rich variety of concrete, personal and encouraging examples. A must-read and a book-to-do.”
Georges Enderle, John T. Ryan, Jr. Professor Emeritus of International Business Ethics, University of Notre Dame
“We need more inquiry-based courses that allow us to discover our ethical values and enact them with practical wisdom. This book Socratic Dialogue: Voicing Values is a wonderful support for those that are courageous to teach these much undervalued and needed skills.”
Michael Pirson, Professor, James A. F. Stoner Endowed Chair in Global Sustainability, Gabelli School of Business, Fordham University; Co-founder and President, International Humanistic Management Association 
“For business students who desire to be a positive force in the world, business ethics cannot be simply a set of rules to follow. They need to understand what values are and to be able to talk about them in real contexts. The authors of Socratic Dialogue: Voicing Values not only show why such a capacity is crucial in the professional world but provide a methodology that is useful for all educators intent on developing business leaders for the good of the world at this critical moment of history.”
Michael C. McCarthy, S.J., Dean, Boston College School of Theology and Ministry
“Teaching ethical management and decision making has never been more important than it is today in our fraught world, though it is sometimes hard for learners to make the transition from theory to their own management and ethics/responsibility practice. Socratic Dialogue: Voicing Values takes on that challenge, linking two important processes for engaging students actively in their own learning: Socratic Dialogue and Giving Voice to Values. This book provides practical guidance for any instructor interested in ensuring that learners can take away practical insights from their classroom discussions—and ultimately make more responsible decisions in organizational contexts. The combination of these approaches provides a comprehensive framework for both thinking through and, importantly, acting on ethical decisions.”
Sandra Waddock, Galligan Chair of Strategy and Carroll School Scholar of Corporate Responsibility, Carroll School of Management, Boston College
“In their book Sira Abenoza and Josep M. Lozano present a powerful methodology for exploring and investigating values that guide business and social practices. It is a useful addition to the Giving Voice to Values methodology championed by Mary Gentile. The Socratic Dialogue described in the book fosters openness, listening and the finding of new courses of action that enshrine the values of the decision makers while they take the concerns of the other players on board. This is a much-needed approach for renewing social practices including business and business education.”
Laszlo Zsolnai, Professor and Director of the Business Ethics Center of Corvinus University of Budapest; President of the European SPES Institute – Leuven; Associate Member of the Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford
“A very timely book to shift debates into the fertile ground of conversations, with invaluable guidance for facilitators to navigate the powerful methods of the Socratic Dialogue. A must read!”
Katrin Muff, Director, the Institute for Business Sustainability, Switzerland 
"If integrity is the consistency and coherence of values and action, and we agree that it is an essential quality for establishing trustworthiness, we must admit that this quality is not so easy to come by, nor to maintain over time and in the face of challenges. And if we espouse integrity as an explicit principle in our service as leaders, members of communities, and as organizations, we know how much we need support to enhance and deepen that essential wholeness now more than ever. Authors Abenoza and Lozano offer us a path that is both wise and practical, updating the perennially valuable insights of Socrates with methods for cultivating this integrity through skillful facilitation and authentic conversation. The regular practice of this dialogical method will have the effect of maturing our personal and professional commitment to ethical action, and of enhancing the values and ethos of our organizational cultures."
David C. McCallum, S.J. Ed.D, Executive Director of Discerning Leadership
“This is an innovative, relevant, and inspiring book! Applying and adapting ancient wisdom and philosophy to the 21 centuries challenges, the book introduces a tool set that will stimulate business leaders, professors, and students across different professions. In particular, it will be a vital vehicle for those of us who love more dialogue in society, company as well as in the classroom. The structure and the message are crystal clear, and the book deserves to be widely read.”
Knut J. ImsProfessor Emeritus in Business Ethics, Norwegian School of Economics (NHH), Norway
