Keeping a handwritten list of your core values can help you be more efficient and self-aware. Even if you feel committed to your core values, the chaos of daily life can still leave you stuck. Your business mission, vision, and core values are clear, and you identify with them (or at least you think you do). Scripting your values list can also add a therapeutic tone to the whole process; you know what you tolerate and make value-based choices that foster your desired identity. TakeawayA handwritten personal core-values list is a powerful tool for any leader.
