Episode 70 Finding Your Core Values with Joshua K. McMillion
Embarking on the path of leadership development is an intricate journey of self-discovery and growth. In a recent podcast episode hosted by Joshua K. McMillion, an insightful exploration was conducted into the significance of core values for authentic leadership. The episode provided an in-depth discussion on how foundational beliefs and personal values are integral in shaping a leader's character and guiding their destiny.
The premise of the conversation centered on the construction of one's 'House of Leadership,' which is a metaphor for the structure of personal norms and values that leaders establish to guide themselves, their families, and their teams. McMillion shared his experiences and the importance of identifying core values through reflection on past experiences, analyzing the impact of leaders encountered throughout life, and understanding the decisions that have led to personal victories and defeats.
Through the framework presented, listeners were encouraged to visualize their past to uncover events that profoundly impacted their development as leaders. It was emphasized that understanding core values leads to decisive and less fatiguing decision-making. The episode challenged listeners to consistently apply their core values to evolve into purposeful, accountable leaders—what McMillion calls PALs.
Furthermore, McMillion expressed his gratitude to the podcast's audience, emphasizing the collective mission of creating compelling leadership narratives. The call to action extended to sharing the episode with fellow leaders and engaging with the McMillion Leadership Coaching community.
In addition to the summary, McMillion provided transcript samples from key chapters, which included powerful questions aimed at helping listeners to introspect and identify their core values.
