What if the values you say you lead by are just a story you’ve rehearsed, and not the truth you actually live?

🧠 In this searing second half of our two-part conversation, Robert Glazer returns to challenge the very foundation most leaders build their reputations on: values.

.

Bob challenges us to confront a deeply uncomfortable truth: that we may not actually know what your values are. Not because you're dishonest, but because you've never stress-tested them. And neither has your organization.

.

We break apart the modern performance culture, dissect how compensation can destroy candor, and ask the question no company wants to answer:

.

Do we reward alignment with our stated values, or just performance metrics that protect the bottom line?

This episode pulls no punches. Bob and I get radically honest about:

  • Why stated company website "values" are mostly meaningless (and how to prove it)

  • How to build a Values Dashboard that forces accountability to the things you say matter most

  • The self-delusion test every leader should take, but probably won’t.

  • What happens when your team is A+ on paper but hollow in purpose

  • How Bob learned to fire top performers who didn’t match the values, and never regretted it

.

This is about more than leadership. It’s about the gap between who you believe you are and how you actually lead. And it’s only when that gap gets closed that real performance, loyalty, and integrity can scale.
