What Are Your Core Values—And When Did You Last Revisit Them?
If I asked you to name the three core values that guide your work and your life, could you answer immediately?
If not, that’s a problem worth fixing.
Leaders who are “too busy” to reflect end up chasing the crisis of the day rather than building a life and organization rooted in what truly matters. Growth requires reflection. Without it, we stay stuck.
Leadership author Darren Reinke raises a powerful follow-up question: Where did those values come from? For many of us, our parents and family background set the foundation. But as we get older, it is often our life experiences—especially loss, adversity, and trauma—that shape what we hold most deeply.
That’s why it’s not enough to identify your values once and move on. Reflection should be annual, intentional, and honest. While your values may remain the same, your interpretation of them—and how they influence your leadership—will evolve over time.
👉 Quick Action Step: Set aside 30 minutes this week to write down your three core values. Then ask yourself: When did these values take root? How are they showing up in the way I lead today?
