Turning Values into Measurable, Lived Leadership Behaviour
Most organizations have clear values. Far fewer have leaders who live those values consistently. The gap between aspiration and behaviour is where cultures break down: misalignment grows, trust erodes, and decisions lose coherence.
The Virtues-to-Competencies Map is the KHET™ proprietary diagnostic and leadership alignment program. It translates core virtues into actionable competencies, and those competencies into measurable behaviours leaders can practice daily.
The virtues reflected in this work are drawn from the Christian faith, grounded in Scripture, and translated into observable leadership behaviours that can be practiced, measured, and sustained.
This program creates the clarity, alignment, and courage required to build a values-anchored culture—and to sustain it with integrity.
Virtues-To-Competencies Map™
This program is designed for:
C-Suite leaders and senior leadership teams
Purpose-driven organizations
Faith-rooted institutions (preferred, but not required)
Organizations whose values are strong but inconsistently practiced
Teams experiencing behavioural drift, misalignment, or integrity challenges
Leaders seeking clarity around what “good leadership” looks like in practice
This program is ideal for organizations ready to align values, expectations, behaviour, and culture.
Who This Is For
The Virtues-to-Competencies Map resolves:
Values that exist as statements, not behaviours
Leadership inconsistency across teams or levels
Culture drift and integrity gaps
Teams unsure how to operationalize values in decisions
Misalignment around what good leadership should look like
Fear-driven or reactive decision-making
This program creates behavioural clarity and a shared leadership identity.
What This Program Solves
The KHET Virtues Alignment Diagnostic™ (6 Weeks) three-step diagnostic process uncovers how values are understood, practiced, and misaligned across your leadership team.
STEP 1 — Values & Leadership Interviews
Understanding interpretation, expectations, and alignment.
Includes:
1:1 leadership interviews
Exploration of how individuals understand virtues
Identification of cultural inconsistencies
Mapping the difference between intended behaviour and actual behaviour
This step surfaces unspoken assumptions and hidden fractures in culture and conduct.
STEP 2 — Virtues Assessment
Measuring how virtues show up in leadership.
Assessing nine core virtues:
Charity
Honesty
Love
Humility
Temperance
Responsibility
Faith
Understanding
Patience
Leaders and teams self-assess and cross-assess how these virtues inform behaviour, communication, and decision-making.
STEP 3 — Competency & Behavioural Mapping
Translating virtues into competencies and measurable practices.
Examples:
Charity → Generosity
Honesty → Integrity
Love → Compassion
Humility → Service-Oriented Leadership
Temperance → Self-Control
Responsibility → Accountability
Faith → Courage
Understanding → Wisdom
This step builds a shared language for leadership expectations and defines what real behavioural alignment looks like.
Program Structure
Leaders come together for a full-day in-person workshop (or two virtual sessions) to:
Translate values into real leadership expectations
Define behavioural standards for each competency
Apply the map to high-stakes leadership tensions
Align expectations across levels and functions
Build commitment and accountability around leadership behaviour
Connect virtues to daily decisions and team culture
This workshop is hands-on, reflective, and practical—creating behavioural clarity that leaders immediately use.
Workshop Delivery
To sustain the behavioural shift, organizations can extend the program through:
1:1 coaching (discounted for program participants)
Group coaching to reinforce competencies and commitments
Behavioural accountability circles
On-going cultural alignment guidance
These reinforce courage, clarity, and consistency.
Follow-Up Coaching (Optional)
This program delivers practical, repeatable tools:
Virtues-to-Competencies Map
Behavioural Roadmap
Assessment Results and Analysis
Leadership Commitments Framework
Reflection Journals
Values Alignment Summary
Tangible Outputs
Transformation Arc
From Values on the Wall to Behaviour in the Hall
KHET supported a global consulting firm ($830M revenue) where leadership behaviour no longer reflected stated values. Using values interviews, Hogan and 360 assessments, virtues mapping, and behavioural workshops, leaders developed a shared understanding of what integrity, courage, accountability, and compassion looked like in practice. Culture scores rose from 2s to 4s, engagement increased by 43%, and trust was restored across the organization.
Case Example
If your organization has strong values but inconsistent leadership behaviour, the Virtues-to-Competencies Map™ provides a clear pathway to behavioural integrity, cultural alignment, and values-driven leadership.
