Most leaders agree that there is no one formula to successfully lead others. Leadership is situational because of so many contributing factors that must be calculated into the formula. Because different situations require varying methods, approaches, and perspectives, you must maintain a few nonnegotiable principles on which to base your leadership actions. Those principles become the core values of your decisions, processes, and influence.
Integrity is displayed when your actions align with your espoused core values.
It has been said that if you are not willing to stand for something, then you are likely to fall for anything. Your core values are what you stand for when your challenged or tempted to compromise. Mercy, truth, and loving kindness are a great leader's sustaining core values. Other values that great leaders may embrace are honesty, compassion, servant hood, excellence, courage, and respect.
Values are the backbone that holds you upright with integrity. You can discover your core values by reflecting on the qualities that you would most want to be used to describe you by those who know you well. Also, examine those intangible characteristics that you would be absolutely unwilling to compromise in any situation. Having a personal values statement can help you face challenging situations that do not have one right answer. I see this daily in the business world and being a christian trying to live a life for God. An example of how this works... if your core values are courage, compassion, and humor, your value statement might be, "I will face challenges with courage, treat others with compassion, and embrace every day with humor."
Selah people' and friends try to meditate on those character traits that are most important to you. As values surface, select three to five of them and incorporate them into your own personal value statement.
"Take time out today to face the things that challenge you with a renewed strength knowing that God gives you all that you need to do His will."
