What do you stand for as a leader?

Values are the quiet force behind every leadership decision. When they’re clear, leading feels cleaner. When they’re not, everything feels heavier than it needs to.

This short exercise uses a simple head-to-head method to surface your top three — so you can lead with clarity, make sharper decisions, and build the kind of culture people actually want to belong to.

Step One

Head-to-head

Two values appear at a time. Pick the one that matters more to you as a leader. The other is eliminated.

Step Two

Rounds of elimination

100 becomes 50, then 25, then 13, then 7, then 4. Each round narrows what matters most.

Step Three

Your top 3

From the final four, choose the three that most define how you lead and the culture you create.

How to play: Trust your first instinct. Don’t overthink — ask yourself “which one could I not lead without?” Tap either card to choose, or use the ← and → arrow keys. There’s an Undo button if you change your mind.

Allow yourself around 10 minutes, somewhere quiet.
