Who is the webinar host
Christian Nyvang Qvick - Chief Consultant at LEAD - Enter next level. Author of the management books 'Vision leadership - how to create a clear and meaningful direction for your organization' and 'Distributed leadership in the public sector'. In addition, he has written more than 40 articles, opinion pieces, columns and opinion pieces on leadership.
Critics argue that values often become rhetorical platitudes and self-evident plus words that don't make a difference in the organization if no one can be bothered to disagree with the value statements.
Description continues in the next section.
The key to good vision management
Read one of Christian Nyvang Qvick's articles where he shares his own experiences as a consultant and talks about how it's not enough for leaders to tell employees what difference they make to the shared vision through their work. It needs to be shown concretely, and that requires alliances with the organization's end users.
In practice, this criticism is in many cases justified - often due to a misguided approach to working with values. Working with values in the right way has huge potential. Values can act as behavioral markers that create a collective narrative about what should underpin employees' day-to-day "do's and don'ts". Values can also provide an alternative to micromanagement based on thick employee handbooks, rules and procedures. Finally, values can help add personality to the organization - values can shape organizational culture by clarifying what the organization stands for, takes pride in living by and ascribes meaning to. Just think of Maersk and the value "due diligence" as an example of such a value that most Danes have probably heard of.
