Know your vision and your values
‘Personal Leadership is the process of keeping your vision and values before you and aligning your life to be congruent with them.@ Stephen Covey
Sometimes we are aware of our vision. We are often aware of our values when something or someone clashes with them. Stephen Covey sugests that we need to both have a vision and know our values as a starting point. When these are clear, we can align our life so that vision, value and lifestyle lines up. This is not for the faint-hearted. I believe that this is an ongoing process and one worth repeating and allowing others (the right – others ) in on as we all have much to gain from a willingness to learn from others.
Undertaking values research has given me a framework for exploring my own values. And I agree that values without a vision goes nowhere. Vision without values could lack integrity. And aligning vision, values and life sounds like a good recipe for fulfillment. Any examples you’d like to share? Comments and feedback welcome.
