Leadership is Values
Leadership values start with self-awareness. Why start with self-awareness? Well, values are the core of your being. Values define how you choose to live and proceed in life’s decisions. They are the foundation for your being. Values are sometimes overlooked while we pursue happiness. It is in times that we are unhappy that we might reflect and wonder why. So, asking a few questions will help frame our values. For instance, we can ask the following questions:
- What’s important to me?
- What is my passion?
- What do you enjoy reading that brings excitement to you?
- What do you want to change in your life?
- How about changing yourself?
- What makes you smile?
- What makes you proud?
- At what points in life were you truly happy?
So, as we dive deeper into values, I will share my own as an example.
- Listen Actively
- Earn Respect
- Accountability Now
- Deliver Quality
- Earn Loyalty
- Reflect Integrity
- Self Develop
As you can see, I love leadership and leaders, hence the first letters spell LEADERS. These are core values I like to focus on to develop into a better person and leader. As we pursue goals in life, it is important as a leader to take time to understand our values. We should do this to not only understand ourselves better but so we can see the values of others and lead better to deliver success. Thoughts? Thanks.
