At Felix, we passionately believe in developing leaders who are not just good at what they do but are also value-driven. We align with industry trailblazers like\u00a0Harry Kraemer<\/a>, so much so that we invited him to be a guest speaker at our 2022 Future of Work and Life 2.0 HR Symposium. His unique approach to values-based leadership provides an enlightening framework for all leaders \u2013 both current and aspiring.<\/p>\n

You can read a summary or watch his full HR Symposium keynote speech\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a respected organizational advisor, Felix, with over 30 years of successful client engagements, recognizes the need for values-based leadership more than ever in our rapidly changing world of work. So, let\u2019s take a deeper look into Kraemer\u2019s four core principles and how they can transform your leadership journey.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Four Principles of Values-Based Leadership<\/h2>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

From his rich experience as the former CEO of Baxter International and an esteemed faculty member at Northwestern University\u2019s Kellogg School of Management, Kraemer has distilled the essence of values-based leadership into four principles, which he elaborately discusses in his book\u00a0From Values to Action: The Four Principles of Values-Based Leadership<\/em>.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Principle 1: Self-Reflection<\/h2>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

According to Kraemer, the journey towards values-based leadership begins with\u00a0self-reflection<\/a>. The ability to reflect, identify what you stand for, discern your values, and determine what matters most is critical. By understanding yourself, you become more equipped to make choices aligned with your values, ultimately resulting in decisions that resonate with your team and positively impact your organization.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Principle 2: Balance<\/h2>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

In a diverse and dynamic world, possessing the ability to see situations from multiple perspectives is crucial for effective leadership. Acknowledging differing viewpoints gives you a holistic understanding, promotes fairness, and aids in making well-rounded decisions that consider everyone\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n

For example, championing effective DEI initiatives further brings the opportunity to understand and value different perspectives into your workplace every day.<\/p>\n

Principle 3: True Self-Confidence<\/h2>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

The final principle, genuine humility, is often overlooked but profoundly significant. Humility helps you appreciate the value of each person in your organization and treat everyone respectfully. Leaders who display genuine humility create an inclusive culture that allows for collaboration and innovation.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Principle 4: Genuine Humility<\/h2>\n
\n\t
\n\t\t

As we proudly mark #IWD2024, Susan Richardson\u2019s impact on gender equality, inclusive leadership, and career empowerment inspires us all. Let\u2019s continue to champion the cause of women\u2019s empowerment, fostering a workplace where every woman can confidently pursue and achieve her professional goals. \ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbc<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Real-Life Application of Values-Based Leadership<\/h2>\n

\n\t\t

Kraemer\u2019s principles aren\u2019t just theories; they\u2019re exemplified in the real world.\u00a0One Acre Fund<\/a>, an organization founded by Andrew Youn, Eric Pohlman, and John Gachunga to aid African farmers, embodies these principles. Youn\u2019s values-based leadership has been instrumental in the organization\u2019s mission, earning Kraemer\u2019s admiration and the proceeds of his book sales:<\/p>\n

\u201cI got into this values discussion not just to talk about values, but to bring up examples of people and organizations who seemed to have the \u2018values\u2019 piece just right,\u201d Kraemer says. \u201cThe fact that this book benefits the One Acre Fund completes the whole circle: Andrew and his team are a great example of what values-based leadership is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

To delve deeper into Kraemer\u2019s knowledge, we encourage you to watch Harry\u2019s talk about his book and the principles it contains.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t
