Clarifying Values
The values that you carry with you are the basis for governing your decisions and behaviors. Values influence the relationships you enter into, the careers you develop, the family you raise, and millions of other decisions you are faced with each day. In many ways, values are like a moral compass that guides you through life. As a leader, it is important to clarify what values your organization or department is going to represent. What will you be known and remembered for?
When espoused values (words) and values in use (actions) meet and are consistent, you demonstrate integrity. If espoused values and actions do not meet or are in conflict, you demonstrate hypocrisy.
