Key Takeaways:

• Core values must reflect who you already are. Aspirations belong in the vision, not in the values.
• Leaders set the tone for living the values. If leaders aren’t modeling them, employees won’t follow.
• Embed values into every aspect of the business. From recruitment to recognition, values should guide decision-making.
• Tough decisions uphold credibility. Failing to address misalignment damages trust, even with high performers.
