“Everything that matters most, must be determined by what most matters.” – Leadershipology.com
This quote speaks to core values. We all have core values that steer our daily decisions and whether or not you have defined yours, they are reflected in how you spend your time and money. Most people have not taken the time to decide what they value. Rather, what they value changes with how they feel that day, what’s going on around them, or a variety of other external influences that steer their decisions.
As a leader, I encourage you to intentionally define a set of core values you live by. Living a Core Values based life is a way of living personally and professionally a “What Matters Most” lifestyle. Core values establish your character… the person you are when nobody else is looking. The “real” you is based on what is REALLY important to you. When you intentionally establish written values and then align your daily decisions with them, you will attract people, places, and things you value most.
Success, in its truest sense, is measured by what you value. The barometer of success is the alignment between your core values and daily decisions.
- Success Key 1: Know what you value. Successful leaders have written core values.
- Success Key 2: Use your core values to aid you in making daily decisions.
