Abstract:
A leader’s values influence how they see people and situations as well as how they act at work. Managerial leaders can benefit by having a practical and systematic approach to managing their core values. After defining values, presenting a Core Values-Management Cycle and offering some benefits associated with this process, a proven practical seven-step approach to applying this process in the workplace is presented. The article also provides a real world example of this approach being applied with an executive. The positive impacts and outcomes of this application are noted. Some challenges that this approach presents are also reviewed.
