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.
