Values may be the latest buzzword in business, but they’re far from new. What is new is the level of importance employees—especially younger generations—place on working for organizations whose values align with their own.

While leadership and management are used interchangeably, they are in fact different. I often hear, “I’m not the manager - I can’t do anything.”

But here’s the truth: regardless of whether you manage others, you can be a leader.  

Values seem to be almost a buzzword lately. I hear all the time about how important culture is, and how organizations need to have values. What I hear less, though, is how to make values a part of the culture (or rather the culture).
