Core Values — Do They Actually Lead to Success? (Brant Menswar)
Description
"Know your values" is one of the most common pieces of advice in self-help and leadership.
Does it actually work?
In this episode, I talk with Brant Menswar—speaker and author known for his work on core values—to examine that idea more closely. We explore:
• What people mean when they say "know your values"
• How values are identified—and whether that process holds up
• The difference between stated values and actual behavior
• Whether values drive success—or if success gets attributed back to them
• Where the idea is useful—and where it breaks down
This isn't a typical conversation. I push on the assumptions behind the concept, question the process, and test whether the idea works beyond the surface level. Because before using a framework, it's worth understanding if it actually does what it claims. Do values drive success— or do we explain success using values after the fact?
