The Values You Set as a Team Leader for the Team

The Leadership Boost

Welcome to the Leadership Boost podcast, where we help you unlock your leadership potential. I'm your host, Shaun Smit, and today we'll be discussing a topic that's essential to any leader's success:

Your core values.

As a leader, your values are the foundation of your leadership style, and they guide your decision-making in all aspects of your work.

Personal core values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that guide your decision-making and behavior. These values are shaped by your upbringing, culture, experiences, and personal beliefs. Personal core values may include things like honesty, integrity, respect, kindness, and responsibility.

On the other hand, as a team leader, you will also need to establish values that are specific to your team's culture and goals. These values should be aligned with your personal core values, but they may be more focused on the needs and goals of the team. For example, a team leader might establish values like collaboration, innovation, accountability, or excellence. These values will help create a strong team culture, clarify expectations, and guide decision-making.

It's important for a team leader to be aware of both their personal core values and the values they establish for their team.
