Cranberry, PA: Tom Crea delivered a breakout session, to the Pittsburgh Chapter of Execunet, a national organization that helps executives better their lives.

Tom discussed the importance of aligning personal and professional values.

Engaging and informative talk. Know your values. Understand how you make decisions. Put yourself in the right environment for success.
-- Mary Hays Warmbrodt

(Know your) moral leadership compass. Stick to your values and have a better understanding of whether your company's values (match) your own.
-- Eddie Yongo

What's the surest way to fail in a leadership role? Lose sight of your values.

• You found a place where you could live according to your personal beliefs and your colleagues did the same.
• Values are the magnet that attracted you to your workplace (recruiting).
• When lived, values become the bond that keep everyone united and pursuing the same cause (retention).
• We all want to be around others who share our personal values and beliefs so that we spend our time in an environment (culture) that makes us happy.

Companies need leaders to promote organizational values and maintain the company culture to attract and retain the right employees.
