Its All About Values

Whether you believe in the concept of gravity or not, it is going to impact everything you do without regard to your belief. We are all driven by our values, so, it only makes sense to figure out what your values are and then see how they match up with those of your employees.

How great leaders use values to drive performance
Great leaders instinctively know the importance of values. Values create the organizational culture. When articulated and implemented consistently, values reduce the need for close supervision, engender trust and co-operation with suppliers and customers, and raise performance. Great leaders recognize this. That is why they commit substantial personal time to articulation and implementation of values. They are also good at mastering paradoxes of values.
Living from our Higher Values
The basics of human behavior requires that we live to our highest values, thus in so doing we are congruent with our true selves. Higher values always dictate to us from within whereas our lowest values are motivated from outside forces. When we live to our higher values we will operate/work spontaneously, we will be working on what we love and we will have a smile on our faces. We will be self-driven when aligned with our highest values. On the other hand, when we are operating from without, we need constant motivation and push. Our days are a “drag” and our whole lives can be described as “unlived lives” in that we are not doing what comes naturally to us. When we set goals aligned to our highest values we are inspired and will succeed.

Rank order the remaining list from highest through to lowest priority. You should now have your top five core values. Focusing on your core values: o Ask yourself whether these are your true, internal "bone deep" beliefs or an external "should" value. These are very tough questions to answer. We often don't recognize a lifetime of conditioning that has left us with other people's belief systems. Replace any "should" values with your own.
