Authors and contributors of this book assume the importance and crucial role of values in managing contemporary organizations emphasizing the fact that the oldest organizations managed by core values are not the globally known and acknowledged business corporation but the institutions like churches, armies and the universities. Numerous institutions of higher education are proud of their core values and present them to their employees, students, and stakeholders.

Jenni, C. (2017). Motivation to Lead: A contingent approach to female leadership. Journal of Business Diversity, 17(2), 75-81

The author looks at the concept of motivation when women step into leadership positions, adopting the view that leadership behavior may change due to a change in motivation to lead. Since values shape our behavior and motivation is our desire to do something, a change in our motivation from an extrinsic to intrinsic approach may, consequently, also change our leadership behavior. Furthermore, a change from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation (or vice versa) may happen over the lifespan or can be triggered by a traumatic event, which in turn may lead to a change in leadership behavior.
