Value Based Leader

It’s nice to be smart

Smartness does not mean being a critic and simply

pointing out flaws and mistakes in another person's work

and just praising your own work.

Others are looking at how knowledge is used and acquired in social situations.

Still others are interested in using intellectual

humility to promote better discourse between

disagreeing parties.

"When they discover the center of the universe, a lot of people will be

disappointed to discover

they are not it."

- Bernard Bailey

We human beings are seekers.

Intellectual

The understanding or mental

powers of a particular person.

Humility

The quality of being humble

or having a lowly opinion of

oneself.

• You don’t know everything

• There is more to learn

• Not using your knowledge as a way to get advantage

over others

• You are respectful

• Listen closely to what the other has to say, so you learn

something

Writing in the Harvard Business Review, it was noted:

“An effective modern leader requires a blend of intellectual

qualities – the ability to think analytically, strategically and

creatively – and emotional ones, including self-awareness,

empathy, and humility.

Great leadership begins with being a whole human being and I meet far more

women with this blend of qualities than I do men.”

• How is this impacting our LC?

Value Based Leader

Let’s start it with question...

Question

1. Think of a leader that you look up to the most.

2. Qualities about him/her that you admire the

most?

3. What makes this person so special? Why these

qualities? How did this person change you?

Beyond power or authority,

leadership is earned through trust and

developing a sense of shared values.

Value-Based Leadership

“Becoming the best kind of leader isn't about emulating a

role model or a historic figure. Rather, your leadership

must be rooted in who you are and what matters most to

you.

When you truly know yourself and what you stand for, it

is much easier to know what to do in any situation.”

Self Awareness

Know yourself

Lead yourself before leading others

Value <-> Quality

• Values and qualities are not the same.

• Values are who you are. Essence of who we are

as human beings

• Qualities are what you do in order to honor your

values.

“Conflict in Values”

Imagine...

You have a team-member like them:

1. What are the underlying values indicative of such

beliefs or behaviors?

2. How are these personal values in line or in conflict with

organizational values? How about your values?

3. How do you reconcile such conflict?

“I have rarely found situations where people were

fired because they were technically incompetent.

I have, however, I found many situations where

they were terminated because their value system

clashed head-on with that of their supervisor or

board of directors.”

- Bob Rue
