Shepherd Leadership Principles

Serve First

Exemplary leadership begins with shepherding yourself. If you can lead yourself well, you can lead your teams well.

Engage Your People

Entering the world of others means engaging our people on their terms, not ours.

Protect Your People

Safety is not something you create by itself. It is the result of the work you have already done. The work comes in preserving safety.

Connect Using Core Values

Finding common ground secures your team foundation, increases trust, and cultivates permission to lead.

Lead with Generosity

Leading with generosity means we give our best to our people and our endeavors each day. We understand the leader role is both a privilege and responsibility.

Celebrate the Remarkable

Feeling at liberty to be the human we are today while growing into the human we believe we can become in the midst of others cheering us on and offering help when we need it.
