Why do Leaders need values? They're our compass through chaos. They drive decisions, shape organisations, help us hire and scale, and build trust with our teams.
But values have to be more than just catchy phrases on the walls. Talk is cheap. Anyone can claim they value "courage" or "transparency."
Real values guide your actions. Whether you are a CEO or a burger chef. The problem we have is too many leaders think those values should come from someone else: shareholders, MBA programs, Steve Jobs' or Lee Iacocca's biography. Your values can be shaped, but they can't be borrowed.

Actually, this sounds like a very good tool for self-reflection.
