Value-Based Leadership Marissa Schlaifer Pharmacy Affairs Director Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy
Leadership • An effective leader is one that will unite followers in a shared vision that will improve an organization and society at large. • Leadership that delivers value, integrity and trust has been called transformational leadership. • Transformational leadership can be contrasted with transactional leadership that builds power by doing whatever will get more followers. James MacGregor Burns, Leadership (1978)
Leadership Behaviors • Good leadership … is a way of being as well as doing. This way of being, or our values, drives our behaviors. • Neither Gandhi nor Martin Luther King ever took a course in non violence; Harry S. Truman on straight talk; Abraham Lincoln on valuing diversity; or Walter Cronkite on integrity. They trusted their values to guide them toward doing the right things. They were the essence of their values. “Value Based Leadership Coaching”, Buzzle.com found at: http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/6-10-2005-71386.asp

Jim Collins, Good to Great (2001)
Organizational Core Value • No specific “right” core values for becoming an enduring great organization. • Core values are essential for enduring greatness, but it doesn’t seem to matter what those core values are. • The point is not what core values you have, but that you have core values.
