Four tools leaders can use to uncover their deeper values
<p>‘As a leader, you first need to define your values, and then use them to guide your decisions and behaviour.’</p>
<p>Sounds easy, right?</p>
<p>While the principle is sound, I find that in practice many leaders struggle to stop, pause, and reflect in ways that reveal underlying values and sources of meaning in their lives.</p>
<p>I recently had a conversation with an executive about how to explore and give shape to his underlying values. In the process of our discussion, I shared with him several tools/exercises that I’d like to profile here, in case they help others with their introspection.</p>
