Values Driven Leadership

An approach to leadership, proposed by Mary Gentile, which emphasises the importance of expressing and delivering ethical values in the way an organisation operates, which is called Giving Voice to Values (GVV). In essence it is about identifying what is the right thing to do and to then implement practices which produce an effective outcome in accordance with the (well considered and correct) value decision. Leaders will provide a culture and platform within which employees will be able to be better engaged and empowered so they can project their voice, so they are heard and listened to, within the organisation, to challenge orthodoxy and question current values of practices and outcomes, to create a more value driven organisation, with a value driven leader at its helm.
