Make a list of four or five experiences from your past that have been “turning points” for you— experiences that have truly influenced the direction you have taken in your life. These experiences can be from twenty years ago or more, or they can be from the present. The important thing is that they made a real difference in your life. Describe each experience in a few words. _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ https://ecpi.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781118240410/cfi/6/22!/4/2/16/20/2@0:3.62 1/4 5/21/2017 ECPI: The Leadership Challenge Workbook PRINTED BY: dhrpat0277@students.ecpi.edu.

Now review the experiences in your list. Do you see a pattern? Is there a theme or two that connects them? What’s the pattern?

What do you hope that they will say about you? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ https://ecpi.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781118240410/cfi/6/22!/4/2/16/20/2@0:3.62 2/4 5/21/2017 ECPI: The Leadership Challenge Workbook PRINTED BY: dhrpat0277@students.ecpi.edu.

What does your description of what you want others to say tell you about the difference you’d like to make in the world? _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ APPLICATION 1 Find Your Theme https://ecpi.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781118240410/cfi/6/22!/4/2/16/20/2@0:3.62 3/4 5/21/2017 ECPI: The Leadership Challenge Workbook PRINTED BY: dhrpat0277@students.ecpi.edu.

The late Milton Rokeach, one of the leading scholars and researchers in the field of human values, referred to a value as an enduring belief about the way things should be done or about the ends we desire. Values are principles that are intrinsically important to us, and it’s unlikely that we will easily change them. Your values are the underlying principles that guide your decisions. It’s absolutely essential that you be clear and mindful of the values that guide your actions, because your personal credibility depends on it. So we’ll start with clarifying the values that you believe should guide your actions in this project. Identify Your Values For this project, which values are most important to its successful completion? What principles do you want everyone to understand and hold as priorities? Review the list we offer here of some commonly held values. On the blank lines at the end of the list, add any values that you think are missing. Then put check marks next to the five values that you feel are most important in the success of your project.

Because you hold many values, at times some of them will be in conflict with others. For example, let’s say you identify a new technology that can increase your department’s productivity, but it will also lead to some layoffs. In your decision process, you are likely to weigh such values as productivity and profitability against, say, loyalty, security, and respect for employees’ family needs. This kind of conflict cannot be avoided. It’s important to achieve a greater understanding of your priorities so you are better able to resolve the inevitable conflicts. To help you be clearer about the priorities of your values, list the five values you selected on the lines below. Then distribute a total of 100 points among the five. Be sure to assign a numerical value to each of the priorities—if you decide not to assign a numerical value to a priority, it should not be on your list.
