Values in Leadership

In any journey, it is essential to have a north star. For leaders, that north star typically relates to their values.

Values orient leaders. Values help leaders prioritize various aspects of their work. And values enable leaders to show up authentically in communities.

In this two-part video series, New Mexico fellows in the WKKF Community Leadership Network with the Center for Creative Leadership program reflect on the values they embody, why values are important in leadership, and how these values guide them in creating an equitable future for children and families.
