Core Values
A team is no more effective in its operation than its level of awareness of the values that inform its assumptions and execution. At Leadership Praxis™ we know that clarity in the communication of values provides a means of assessing all decisions and actions in light of our mission in a way that provides for the creativity of diverse abilities and personal giftedness and the focus needed to execute plans with discipline, consistency and high impact.
We help our clients develop this same focus.
Why?
Because we know that if values are consistently part of the conversation then employees will focus only on numbers. Without a consistent focus on values your employees are only focusing on answering that next phone call rather than furthering the mission of your organization.
Excellence
Excellence is a commitment to carry each task, whether sales, client services, or operations to a complete and consistent end in a superior manner. The careful expenditure and investment of funds and personnel using the criteria of assignment, experience, skill, ability, giftedness as the grid for securing full success. We achieve the biggest bang for the buck possible.
Diligence
Diligence starts with curiosity which is an orientation that insists on interrogating reality to discover new connections, causes, effects and patterns. It is a commitment to deliberately use every experience as a means to enlarging learning cognitively, emotively and experientially and to engender the same posture in other leaders through modeling, coaching, training and feedback. Diligence leads to the ability to adjust rapidly to changing environments and market pressures to assist our clients in addressing the problems that are in front of them now not yesterday and create and implement strategies to meet these challenges.
Integrity
Integrity acts out a commitment and a behavior. It is a commitment to do what we say and say what we do every time without fail. It is a behavior that “comes out from behind oneself” abandoning the safety of confusion and dishonesty for the vitality and motivation of clarity. This results in listening, being truly present in relationships and freely admitting the need for growth or correction when it becomes apparent. We recognize that our profit and resources are a stewardship for which we must give an account to clients, stockholders, our families, stakeholders and our peers.
Collaboration
Collaboration intentionally develops a synergy with people, their resources and their unique giftedness working together to create an organization in which the results are greater than the sum of their individual effects or capabilities. Collaboration is expressed internally in the promotion of this perspective in relationship to personnel recruitment, assignment and evaluation. It is a gift-based approach that provides glue to relationships that transcends cultural and personal differences to pursue a life purpose and mission.
Fun
Engaging the highs and lows of in life in a way that causes people to flourish while also overcoming negative emotions so we enjoy life and work through the lens of personal integration and appreciation of the contributions and discoveries brought by others. We love what we do and we love the results. We engender a business environment that is positive and energizing.
