'“Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value!” Albert Einstein. Our value as a leader, and how others perceive our value, has much to do with how we value value and how those around us do the same . Value is a measure of relative worth, merit, or importance. Anything can have value to the degree that it has worth, merit, or importance.

'With little ability to read during my bout with the flu over Christmas, I listened to NPR. What I heard was hopeful: programs discussing kindness. Kindness – not a word historically associated with corporations, those bastions of male verve – is now being equated with the bottom line. How times have changed.

'Historically, leaders achieved their position by virtue of experience on the job and in-depth knowledge. They were expected to have answers and to readily provide them when employees were unsure about what to do or how to do it. The leader was the person who knew the most , and that was the basis of their authority. Leaders today still have to understand their business thoroughly, but it’s unrealistic and ill-advised to expect them to have all the answers.
