The Competing Values Framework (CVF) provides a fully validated process to reveal the core cultural values that are motivating the employee behaviors in your organization. The CVF provides a practical approach to profiling organizational culture by measuring the relative emphasis placed on four universal values.

Join Dan Danner and Gordon Carter who will outline in this session that by employing this process, it will allow your organization to develop insights about how their underlying value system influences overall cultural behavior. The ability to “see” how underlying values influence employee behaviors allows leadership to determine how they might leverage, or shift their cultural profile to support strategic organizational initiatives.

We often hear that developing one’s "personal brand" is imperative as part of professional/leadership development. If we use a lens where "personal brand" is analogous to our favourite consumer brands, we can mostly agree that we expect the packaging, attributes, features of these brands to remain consistent and reliable over time.

Conversely, we might all agree that Leadership is a lifelong journey of continuous learning, growth, and change. That being said, the taxonomy “personal brand” is seemingly out of sync with how many of us view Leadership Development.

However, “Cultivating your Leadership Voice” is about developing and sharing your personal knowledge, skills, abilities, experience and character- and ultimately the story of your journey (your “Song Sheet”), and how it evolves over time.

We will discover how we can do that in this session.
