The Value of Values

Values that serve us well are enduring principles that enable us to maintain our integrity and self-respect no matter the circumstances. Effective leaders routinely exhibit positive, constructive values in their words and deeds, even when the going is difficult.


In healthy organizations, values aren’t merely words on a poster or in a brochure. They are alive in the organization. You see these values at work everywhere you look. When actions run counter to the organization’s values, everyone knows.


We value the things we give most of our time, attention, resources, and reinforcement. This holds true for us as individuals and for our organizations.


What values drive your thinking and behavior? What are your organization’s real values? Are these values all they should be?
