Do values matter?
Broadly speaking, values relate to a sense of justice
The values that most companies openly pursue may look very similar to one another. What matters however, is whether people practise them or not.
Values at work reinforce your sense of purpose, your satisfaction in your own work. They increase motivation, enhance engagement, loyalty, retention, and performance.
At the foundation of teamwork is trust building. And you can only build trust by being authentic, transparent and fair.
It’s what you stand for and who you are that causes people to follow you.
It is important not to be too self-righteous about your values.
Leaders may be making decisions that seem unfair or unjust to you, but they are based on information you don’t have access to.
Burnout is the result of not being who you are and not being aligned to your own values for too long.
