VALUES-BASED LEADERSHIP

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Course Description

Today, attitudes toward leadership are changing, and leading based on values and principles – is becoming accepted and essential. Your values bring clarity, focus and alignment for the entire organization — synchronizing your time, effort and energy towards what you want to achieve as a company.

Values represent what is important to you in your life; for example – integrity, kindness, growth, etc. They guide your thought patterns, your words, and, ultimately, your actions as a leader. Values guide your life and provide the direction necessary to chart the course of your days and the choices you make. Roy Disney once said, “when your values become clear, making decisions becomes easier.”

In this workshop, you will better define who you are as a leader, the values you want to instill, and the team you want to build. We will explore how to anchor your leadership in your values. Examples include values such as collaboration, open communication, social responsibility, intuitive decision-making, and creativity, to name a few. These values can guide how you and your team communicate, interact, and make decisions in the organization’s best interest. You will discover your values, analyze how they align and integrate with your organization and examine how these values impact your ability as a leader.
