val·ue /ˈvalyo͞o/
1. the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.
2. a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.
"Leadership values" refer to the standards of behavior you deem most important in a leader.
SAMPLE LEADERSHIP VALUES
- Character - ex. demonstrates empathy, urgency & discipline
- Presence - ex. demonstrates confidence, self-awareness & resilience
- Intellect - ex. demonstrates creative problem solving & sound judgement
HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR VALUES
- Focus - what behavioral attributes do you covet?
- Prioritize - long lists get lost...focus on the vital few attributes
- Categorize - group your priority attributes into memorable categories (ex. "Character", "Presence", "Intellect").

- These value-based standards create your culture
BEST PRACTICES
