“The personal values managers reported being the most under pressure to compromise to do their jobs successfully: 1. Family 2. Integrity.”

“Managers know what they want most: to be allowed to achieve success by leveraging who they are, not by compromising it.”

“What companies want most from their managers is what they most stop their managers from giving. What managers want most from their jobs is what they most stop themselves from getting.”

“The myth of management is that your personal values are irrelevant or inappropriate at work.”

“Most managers have plenty of emotional commitment to give to their jobs. If they can be convinced it’s safe and sensible to give it.”

“It’s impossible for a company to get what it wants most if managers have to make a choice between their own values and company priorities.”

“No manager wants success completely defined on the company’s terms. They want success defined by their own terms too.”
