What is Values-Based Leadership?

By Drew Dudley

The term “value” is brutally overused right now. Every company has a portion of their website trumpeting their commitment to works like “accountability”, “integrity” and “excellence”. Imagine however, that someone walked up to you and asked you to complete this sentence: “Integrity is a commitment to…”

Could you do it? Most people can’t. There are words that sound good but rarely impact our decision-making in the moment.

WHY IS VALUES-BASED DECISION MAKING IMPORTANT?

The fact is a value is only a value if it’s used as criteria for decision making. No matter where you are personally or professionally, if you reference your values whenever you make a decision, you’re a leader.

Drew Dudley shows you how to embrace your leadership by surfacing your true leadership values and demonstrating how they can be used to make better leadership decisions that create more moments of powerful everyday leadership.

Who is Drew?

Millions of people have been moved by Drew Dudley’s attempt to change that narrow definition of leadership. Dew’s TED Talk “Everyday Leadership (The Lollipop Moment)” became one of the 15 most inspirational TED Talks of all time because of its simple message: “You should recognize and celebrate YOUR leadership…and live it every day.”

For over 15 years, Drew Dudley has been teaching individuals and organizations on how to recognize leadership through mesmerizing presentations that share his practical and accessible Day One Leadership Approach.

Take Leadership to Another Level

What sets the Day One process apart is its practicality and accessibility: Drew provides leadership tools that connect with many people who have never considered themselves leaders: introverts, front-line staff, volunteers and employees with little seniority. His approach is rooted in behavioral psychology and provides a step-by-step plan that can be implemented immediately by anyone in the organization, and the behaviors he helps create are directly linked to employee engagement, productivity, and happiness.

Most of the leadership in your organization is passing by unrecognized, uncelebrated and ineffectively developed. Set up a no-commitment consultation call to learn how we can help you change that.
