How Are You Increasing 
Value?
 
If you are a 
businessperson you are surely concerned with value.  Certainly your business dealings are 
designed to increase value to your business.  And when you provide your products or 
services to you customers or clients you are actually fulfilling their needs and 
thereby increasing value to them.  
When you provide good products and services you get additional business 
referrals from you customers and other businesspersons who know you, and of 
course you reciprocate with business referrals for them.  That is the very nature of business, to 
increase value.
If you are 
employed by others you are also part of a value chain.  Your efforts in behalf of the company 
increase its value for which you are provided valuable compensation.  But the value chain does not end 
here.  If you are a manager or other 
formal leader, part of your job is to develop other leaders to further increase 
their own value as well as the company�s.  
If you are not a manager or formal leader you can still contribute to the 
extended value chain by faithfully executing your assigned roles and setting an 
example for management and others.  
This is a form of informal leadership, which increases your own value, as 
well as that of the company and others.
In you family and 
social life you value your spouse, your children and your friends.  They provide the social and emotional 
support required to sustain you.  
Don�t you also provide value to you family and friends by helping fulfill 
their needs, by offering kind counsel when asked, and by just being there when 
needed?
In your 
professional and civic life you value the groups to which you belong or which 
provide assistance to you.  You also 
provide value to such groups by making donations or volunteering to assist in 
the various activities they carry out.
Creating value is 
part of the human condition.  But as 
you have noticed, value is not a one way street; you only gain value when you 
give it.  
How are you 
increasing value?
