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.
“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

“If ever there was a discipline suited to problem solving, it's 21st century kinds of notions around geography. Where you're studying how things came to be and the way they are. You're taking those insights and thinking about what that means for what's happening to the earth and the inhabitants of it. Whether those activities are helpful or harmful and how you could be a part in changing that. It's that ability to think like a geographer that might be one of the most important skills that we can give young people now, along with having an Explorer mindset. Being curious about the world and your place in it.”
“Victory is in the classroom. Victory is where the learners are. You can't claim success if you're not impacting learners. The bond between teachers and learners is so powerful. I always felt that the job that I had as an administrator, whether I was at a school level, a district level, a state level, even when I was acting as a philanthropist, I always felt that it was my job to power that bond. It's the job of principals and district superintendents and others, to make sure that that bond between teachers and students is as powerful as it can be. That's where the magic of learning happens.”

“I love this idea you said ‘I'm going to put myself out there so people can see me learning’ and showing the example of challenging your own ignorance, embracing your own ignorance and being able to say, ‘teach me and bring in people to teach you.’ You've become the lifelong learner, the exemplified lifelong learner and that can be really inspirational to people. You've relieved them of the burden of being the expert. It's really important for leaders.”
