Abstract
The purpose of this qualitative study was to discover the impact of the infusion of core values in the workplace on leader/follower behavior. A hybrid of transformational leadership and servant-leadership theories called the value-based approach to leadership was used for analysis of data gathered. Conclusions indicate that infusion of core values has a positive impact on follower trust, support for followers as holistic persons builds commitment, and a positive organizational culture binds individuals into a common group with shared goals. Anecdotal evidence provided indicates transference of core values from followers to customers, influencing customer satisfaction.
