SUMMARY:Winning\, Losing\, and Values—from 2 Guys on Your Head at KUT Radio
DESCRIPTION:The World Affairs Council of Austin\, in partnership with the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business\, is proud to present the Texas Enterprise Speaker Series.\n \nValues matter in the workplace\, because they determine the frame that we place on the interactions that we have with others.  To put this into context\, it is important to understand the psychology of values and the role that these values play in the way people interpret the world.  We discuss this point in the context of negotiation and competition in the workplace.  Negotiation affects not only the particular outcome being discussed but also the relationships among people that determine what counts as the successful outcome of a negotiation.  We also explore the role of values in determining broader issues in the workplace like work-life balance\, and the responsibility companies have to the society around them. \nAttendees will learn: \n\nHow values of an organization affect individual behavior\nWhat is a protected value\nHow values affect preferences and beliefs\nWhat can leaders do to share their vision for the future with an organization\n\nSHORT BIOS \nArt Markman\n \nArt Markman is the Anabel Irion Worsham Centennial Professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin and Founding Director of the Program in the Human Dimensions of Organizations.  Art has written over 150 papers on topics including reasoning\, decision making\, and motivation. \nHe brings insights from cognitive science to a broader audience through his blogs at Psychology Today and Fast Company as well as his radio show/podcast Two Guys on Your Head (co-hosted with Bob Duke).  He has written several books including Smart Thinking\, Smart Change\, Habits of Leadership.  His most recent book is Brain Briefs\, co-authored with Bob Duke. \nBob Duke\nBob Duke is the Marlene and Morton Meyerson Centennial Professor and Head of Music and Human Learning at The University of Texas at Austin\, where he is University and University of Texas System Distinguished Teaching Professor\, Elizabeth Shatto Massey Distinguished Fellow in Teacher Education\, and Director of the Center for Music Learning.
