Abstract
In this chapter, the authors introduce the fourth component of clarity in their Leadership OS model—values. Using both their own and previous research, they describe the social and neural underpinnings of values and the functions it plays in a leaders’ Operating System—how it affects people’s performance. They introduce a case study (Daniel Birnbaum at SodaStream) showing the role and importance of values in a leaders’ OS. They then describe practical techniques leaders can use to increase the degree to which their OS enables and supports values. Finally, they introduce a checklist leaders can use to test the extent people experience values in their OS.
