Leadership Values Assessments
49 www.valuescentre.com www.valuescentre.com
The Leadership Values Assessment is a feedback instrument that compares a leader’s perception of the values he or she believes best describe his or her management/operational style with their colleagues’ perception of their management/operational style. The instrument also compares leader’s perception of their own strengths, and the behaviours that they believe they need to improve or stop, with the assessors’ perceptions and measures personal entropy.

Wilber’s Four Quadrants
Organisational transformation begins with the personal transformation of the leaders. Organisations don’t transform. People do.
When leaders change their beliefs and values (1), their behaviours change (2). This influences the culture of the group (3), which in turn changes the behaviours of the group (4).
