Linked below you will find a guided reflection with several questions. Please answer these questions honestly and candidly (practice improving your credibility!). These reflections should not be more than three pages in length. Make sure you have read the material for the week before you attempt the reflection.

You will need to refer to the following downloadable list of values for one of the questions in the reflection paper.

Examples of Values

1. Refer to the list of values provided for you as a download. Choose no more than FOUR of these values to describe what means the most to you in your life.
   1. Explain these values and why they are important to you. What are the specific behaviors (the things you actually do) that support your values? Who are the people in your life who support your values?
   2. Sometimes when were in struggling or feeling overwhelmed we fail to live up to our values. Identify behaviors that can serve as a red flag for you that you are neglecting your values. For example, I know I am not living up to my values when I begin to focus on myself more than others; become judgmental, gossip, etc.

2. As described in The Leadership Challenge, leadership isnt just about what we believe, but about having shared values and putting those values into action. Organizations use documents such as mission statements and values statements to articulate their shared beliefs. If your organization has such a document compare it to your own values. If your organization does not have such a document, ask co-workers what values they believe the organization exemplifies. How does your organizations values align with your own. How well is the leadership team in our organization Modeling the Way for those values? How well are you Modeling the Way? (Remember, this is confidential and I will not share your remarks with anyone

3. Last week I asked you to guess the results of your Strengths-Based Leadership assessment. Now that you have taken the assessment, how do your results compare with your expectations? Were you surprised by any of your strengths? Explain.
