Sokolow, a founding partner and executive director of the Center for Empowered Leadership, offer eighteen core leadership values and principles that can serve as an underlying operational system to help you do the right things, in the right way, at the right time, for the right reasons. These values include such things as: a focus on the positive, empowering and uplifting others, operating from a base of compassion, and recognizing the seeds of wisdom.
