Do my behaviors match my values?

Values are vital. They can be both aspirational and inspirational. They help guide my personal and professional life.

Behaviors are how I live my day-to-day. This includes how I treat and serve others, solve problems, and take care of the people in my life and myself.

If I'm doing it right, my values and behaviors sync up. My values guide and fuel my behaviors. And the way I behave personally and professionally reflects my values in action.

Too often, people and organizations spend time on values, without considering behaviors. But here's the thing: If you don't work on the latter, you're never going to achieve the former.

How do your values and behaviors align?
