Being true to your values
When growing up, we learn to understand the impact core values have on driving our behaviour and activity, as well as attracting those you work well with because you share similar values. Your values are critical, they are at the heart of everything that you do.
I attended a Brene Brown course called “Dare to Lead” in 2020 - it was a chance to consider what kind of leader you want to be and understand your values.
My core personal values are:
Connection - I value having strong connections with people and I'm a connector. It drives me and my thinking. I genuinely love people
Achievement - I love to do a great job, I put 100%+ into everything I do
Passionate - I'm passionate about helping people / companies to deliver the best outcome. I have energy and drive to help people find their passion
Company values
Most companies have a set of values but unfortunately most don't live by them – it’s frustrating and impacts the culture of companies.
Company values and alignment with executives / co-founders and employees is important. Data, research suggests that companies where leaders align culturally and on values are 63% more successful than companies that don't.
Having a clearly defined set of values helps your stakeholders to understand what you stand for. Your values provide guidance to your employees in delivering their work and creates a sense of unity and belonging. Your set of values encourage your employees to make decisions that help them achieve the company’s vision and mission.
Whiteark
