This book provides a holistic view of the topic of values-based leadership by bridging the important gap between understanding theory and applying it in practice. Based on theoretically sound contributions from experts, a systematic understanding is developed: What are values in general and what do they mean in a business context? What does value orientation mean? How does it work in the different areas of leadership? Practice-oriented contributions by experienced practitioners offer orientation for value-oriented leadership in every kind of company, from the small to the large. From structural familiarization with corporate leadership to day-to-day values-based interactions with employees in people management, you can find helpful inspiration in this book. This book is attractive in its comprehensibility and authenticity. It is about experiencing the life of values in a company as really meaningful, necessary and feasible.
