My Answer:
I believe that the shared vision and values of the doctoral community attempts to help people, enhance one's own knowledgebase as well as others, and to provide information based on research and credibility. These values are related to leadership values as they are the things that will prepare the doctoral community for an effective leadership role. They can also be used in an organizational environment where research and credible data is a very important aspect for both reports and statistics. The doctoral community looks to also pursue the best possible solutions that will help and enlighten others in their quest for knowledge and achievements. Being a leader goes hand in hand with the vision that the doctoral community has. The doctoral community mentality also breeds relationships that is necessary in the leadership role as well. Relationships are very important to the doctoral community and to being a leader as it helps to strengthen both.
