Why Values Matter

Why Values Matter will focus on developing leadership techniques for employees to support organizational values. The seminar will explore five essential components of values-based leadership:

1. Balanced Leadership – Highly-effective leaders must have balance when considering their business approach. Using a proprietary model, leaders will learn how to inspire their team by identifying individual and organizational values and distinguishing those attributes which can never be compromised.
2. Mission and Vision - Creating a strong value system is a key part of an organization's culture. There must be a connection to the mission and vision that is demonstrated in institutional practices including recruiting, onboarding, and annual performance reviews. Here, we will examine the tools that leaders can use to guide actions and decisions consistent with organizational strategy.
3. Expectations and Accountability - Setting clear expectations for a team is a strategic imperative when it comes to ensuring alignment with leadership values. Our program will delve into the process of setting leadership targets as an essential part of ensuring accountability.
4. Stress and Decision Making - Many factors place pressure on individuals within an organization. Sometimes mounting stress can keep employees from making the best choices. This segment will explore the impact of stress on decision making.
5. Exceptional Leadership - A leader who brings their values to life helps to institutionalize them. It is a deliberate and thoughtful process that incorporates the paradigm of what "Exceptional Leadership Looks Like," and ensures that those values speak to and motivate employees throughout the organization.
