Leadership and Values
At a minimum, it is crucial to state that
leadership involves values and one cannot
be a leader without being aware of and
concerned about one’s own values.
– Peter Northouse, Leadership: Theory and Practice
My Inner Self: Core Values

• What would life look
like if I was really
living up to those
values?
• Am I motivated to
change?

Leadership Reflection

compelling statement

It ain’t so much the
things we don’t
know that get us
into trouble. It’s the
things we know that
just ain’t so.
– Artemus Ward
The Inner Self: Mental Models
• Images, assumptions and stories that we
carry
• Can’t navigate without them
• They determine what we ‘see’
• Typically tacit - often inaccurate
• Don’t respond to changes
Personal Reflection
• Do we really understand where we’re from?
• Do we know how that affects us today?
• Can we reframe it?
Dialogue
• Reflect on your “I am from” story
• How does the different elements shape how you see the world?
• Are all the assumptions valid?
• What might you want to reframe?
