Book Refinement: Polishing the Mirror !
After completing the
chapters of Value-Based Leadership, I now find myself in the crucial stage of
refinement. Many of the chapters have already been shared on social media,
where readers have responded generously with feedback. I have also appealed to
thought leaders for their suggestions. For me, the subject itself is of primary
importance—the author remains secondary. Each chapter will be revised and
enriched with the help of my AI assistant, Copilot, ensuring consistency and
continuity. Where necessary, chapters will be supplemented with the latest
insights shared by thought leaders and collaborators.
Another important dimension
of this refinement process is my deliberate return to the leadership books I
have studied throughout my career. I am aligning the principles and thoughts
presented in those works with my own writing, while carefully examining the new
ideas I have introduced. This deep reflection allows me to test the
practicability of value-based leadership in real-world contexts.
Across the globe, there are
institutes dedicated to training and developing leaders who embody values. In
addition, several executive search firms specialize in identifying leaders
whose personal values align with those of the organizations they serve. I
intend to highlight such institutions and organizations in my book. In a
previous blog, I wrote about the Moral Re-Armament Centre, which organizes
training and renewal programs for people in leadership roles.
While exploring resources on
value-based leadership, I came across Perrett Laver, a leading international
executive search firm operating in 70 countries worldwide. They advocate
strongly for values-led leadership, stating:
“We are led by our own
purpose and values, and we are proud to use our voice and expertise to drive
values-led hiring forward. We will help you find an exceptional leader who not
only has the experience and skills you need, but also aligns with your broader
purpose, mission, and values, using our values assessment framework.”
This resonates deeply with
my own work. I have developed two frameworks—one on intuitive decision-making
and the other on value-based leadership. Rather than publishing these
frameworks in journals or presenting them at conferences, I have chosen to share
them through my book.
I sincerely hope the readers
will find value in it.
