A lot of the leadership work I do with clients has a direct
correlation to their company values. The closer link I can make to values,
culture, and leadership, the more powerful the sessions tend to be. At home, my
husband and I do the same work for our household. We have determined a set of
values we use to help guide our decisions.
While working one afternoon, I looked at my bookshelves and
realized that if someone were to gander at my books, they would see my shelves
as a reflection of my values. For example, there’s an entire section of books
on business and leadership, something I have dedicated many of my professional
efforts to. There are books on writing and art because I value creativity. There
are maps and books on travel because I value adventure. There are textbooks
that emphasize a value for learning and application of knowledge. There are
fiction books for the pure pleasure of them, and there are books that address
health.
Do the books on your shelves align with your values?
