Operationalizing Values for Alignment and Impact
Listen now
Description
In this episode of The Leaderful Podcast, Pablo and Jeff reflect on a part of our work that we've been doing more and more of with impact-conscious leaders and their teams - helping them with the operationalization of their core organizational values. 📽 Here are some takeaways! 🧭 Defining & Clarifying Values -- Many organizations and teams stop at nice-sounding lists with one-word values. This means they often miss out on the benefits of clearly articulated expectations for key behaviours associated (and maybe more importantly, not associated) with their values. Performative value statements can lead to misalignment, disconnection, distrust. 🏗 Core vs. Other Types of Values -- Distinguishing core values from 'table-stakes', 'permission-to-play," and/or 'aspirational' values, is important. Core values are the cornerstones or foundation of a team's or organization's culture. They help foster shared connection, understanding, alignment, and agreement. They are powerful drivers for high-functioning teams, if operationalized in the right way. 📢 Feedback & Accountability -- Establishing regular feedback rhythms is key for the collective operationalization of values. Clearly (and consciously) communicating the do and don't behaviours of your core values - through recognition, story-telling, and coaching - is how people will come to internalize and align their behaviours collectively. Thank you for listening, and let us know what other topics you think we should be exploring!   Learn more about our work with impact-conscious leaders by visiting our website, joining the conversation on LinkedIn or dropping us a note at [email protected].
