What Leaders Need to Know About Core Values

In this episode of Leading in Change, Gloria McConnell and Adrian Owen Jones break down why most organizational values aren't actually doing anything — and what it takes to make them real. If your team has to look up the company values when you ask them to name them, if you have the words on the wall but can't point to a decision those values actually changed, or if you're leading through a period of change and feeling like there's nothing solid for your team to hold onto, this episode will give you a practical framework for making values work. Gloria and Adrian walk through the Above the Line/Below the Line exercise, the three stress-test questions every leader should answer, how to use values in feedback conversations instead of a policy manual, and what it looks like when values actually cost you something — including a real story about letting go of a multimillion dollar client. If you want your values to change how your team makes decisions, this is a must-watch.📥 Free Leadership Resourceshttps://successlabs.com/resources📩 Sign up for our newsletter:https://successlabs.com/newsletter✅ Follow Success Labs:https://www.instagram.com/success_labshttps://www.tiktok.com/@successlabshqhttps://www.facebook.com/successlabsMusic Recorded in Otaku Sound.
