Working on Values Based Leadership

About the Program

As the world continues to reel from systematic abuses of power, Intersections’ Power and Values project is leading a national conversation about decision makers’ ethical responsibilities and the values driving popular, political, and business culture. The project seeks to uncover prevailing value systems and highlight alternatives that foster justice and community well being over greed and individual gain.

Power and Values proposes and advocates policies that embody these new norms, and hold those who exercise power accountable to these values through dialogue and engagement among leadership from diverse interests and backgrounds. The Values and Leadership Roundtable, an initiative of the Power and Values project, is a network of leaders from business, faith, education, government, and philanthropic sectors who explore the goals of values-based leadership.

Power and Values also works at increasing civil engagement to decrease the absence of civility around the world as different ideas collide. While many call for more civility, Intersections is dedicated to fostering civil engagements among different perspectives and interests.

Understanding the impact that social media has in today’s world, the Power and Values blog is the most accessible way to generate and connect with thinkers and leaders in the field. Through this –– along with meetings, programs, writings, dialogues, and the exploration of leadership and governance –– Intersections continues to work to gain recognition, acceptance, and context.
