⏱ TIME REQUIRED: 45-60 minutes for initial completion

🧭

Section 1: Core Values (Your True North)

These are the 3-5 principles that define who you are and what your organization stands for. Go beyond corporate platitudes—dig into the 'why' behind each value. What life experience made this non-negotiable for you?

✅

Section 2: Actions (Living Your Values)

Transform abstract values into concrete behaviors. How do you demonstrate these values in your daily work? Be specific: "weekly one-on-ones with direct reports" beats "I value people."

Alignment Check: Where do you see misalignment between your stated values and actual actions?

⚠️

Section 3: Challenges (Barriers to Authenticity)

Identify the external pressures and internal obstacles that tempt you to prioritize appearances over authenticity. Select 2-3 challenges from the menu below, then elaborate on how they affect you.

Your Selected Challenges (Elaborate Below)

💡

Section 4: Strategies (Staying True)

For each challenge, identify practical strategies to overcome it. These should be concrete actions, systems, or policies—not just intentions. Browse the strategy library below for proven templates.
