163. Leading with Your Values: Featuring Richard Shell

A fast-track colleague is elbowing their way up the professional ladder in your organization by faking reports. Your boss asks you to lie to a stakeholder. The team leader is a serial sexual harasser. What should you do? Nobody prepared you for this part of professional life. You face a gut-wrenching choice: "go along to get along" or risk negatively impacting your career by speaking up for what you know is right. In this week’s episode, Richard Shell shares his value model and how this structure has helped so many people find solutions to extremely difficult experiences.  In this episode, we also discuss: Leading From Any Position The Role of a Professor  And his books, The Conscience Code: Lead with Your Values.
