In the course of their lives, people develop a personal value system that influences their deci-sions in many ways. This also applies to the professional field.
Managers are able to influence their employees with their opinions and decisions and as well the course of the company they serve.
Therefore, it is particularly important for the corporate culture and the products and services to employ managers with the fitting value pattern.
The research findings confirm relationships between role models of leaders and their personal values and those values that seem important to them in leadership behaviour. There are deviations especially in those value cate-gories that are required for personal safety. The admiration of values in role models, however, is not limited in these areas. In addition, there is strong evidence that people with different leadership styles also have different personality patterns.
