Key Points
- Cultivating a strong corporate culture is about aligning values, actions, and behaviors to create a solid foundation that can withstand challenges and changes, such as the pandemic.
- Leadership begins with self-awareness, and leaders must consistently reflect their values in their actions and behaviors, as employees will model their conduct based on these observed traits.
- The concept of the "everyday leader" suggests that leadership is not confined to titles or professional settings; anyone can exhibit leadership through their daily actions and by living authentically in line with their values.
