Leadership is about living our values and optimizing the natural dynamics of the living system. Living our ideals creates community. Our values are not to be compromised for money or short-term expediency. Many should take their ethics more seriously than they do. Values conflict frequently.
People differ in their perspectives on what constitutes living the organization's values.
Therefore it is important that we talk about our differences. The conversation isn't about who is right or wrong but about coming to common understanding. We must discuss our differences, give one another feedback, and listen to the viewpoints of others. We must then be willing to explain our positions and understand the views of others. We must be mature enough to apologize when we do not live our values, make our amends, recommit ourselves, and go forward as better people.
