Core Values

Core Values Game

CORE VALUES

Why those values?

Richard Barrett lists in his recent book, “Everything I Have Learned About Values”, the top ten values of 450.000 people, who have chosen while running Personal Value Assessment (PVA). Those values are Family, Humor, Caring, Respect, Friendship, Trust, Enthusiasm, Commitment, Creativity, Continuous Learning. Richard states: “Because of the large number of people who have completed this survey, I tend to think of these values as the values of humanity.” His statement inspired me to call those values as Core Values.

Having a conversation about values can be energizing. The conversation takes place when we play with the Core Values cards.

How to play CORE VALUES game?

(inspired by moving motivators)

First: Identify the values which are at your focus nowadays. Place the cards in order from left (most important) to right (least important.)

Second: If you are running this exercise with a group of people, share your thoughts on why those values are important to you, and what they mean to you. Have a brief conversation.

Third – a scenario: Discuss how change affects your values. For example: If you’re wondering if you should change jobs, which would mean moving to another city, learning a new skill and making all new friends, how does that affect your values? It’ll most likely increase some values and decrease others. Some may not change. Move the cards up for a positive change and down for a negative one and then look. What is the story about the movement of the values?

Application:

  • Team building; identifying team values
  • Coaching
  • Hiring
  • Team Diversity

Self Organized High Performing Teams

The foundation of a “working” agile organization relies on high performing self-organized teams. Self-organized Teams need time and adequate coaching so that the team members do not need to be another person or wear masks when they enter the company. The wholeness is key to employee happiness and engagement. We build this trustful environment where the people are in focus.

With our new tool, you can measure your team’s effectiveness, trust level and how the responsibilities are shared towards a common goal, to create an outcome that counts.

The Trust Builder – Integrity

One of the building blocks of trust is demonstrating and living integrity as a leader.

And here are at least three behaviors we can intentionally show at any moment in time:

1) Call the things as they are, tell the truth and check whether your reality is the same as the others. Show honesty.

2) Equally apply the agreements to everyone, whatever they are. Bring high attention to fairness.

3) Communicate clearly and leave the right impression, as you have originally planned to do. Live authenticity.

All those three steps will lead to an integer behavior. This behavior is one of the growing seeds of a plant full of trust.

Good leaders have good teams; great leaders have great teams.

The Trust Builder – Intention

A trustful environment helps a team to focus its energy on the goal. Uncertainty and skepticism about the team members’ genuine intentions are one of the factors that can distract the focus. That creates unnecessary questions, gives a lot of food for interpretation and inference.
We do not need to lose the groups valuable energy in climbing the ladder of inference.
Clarity on why do we work with the team, how do we work and what do we want to achieve, helps. The dialogue about the plans of the team members increases the confidence level of the team.

What to do? Where to start?

As a leader, first, share your intention with your team. And then listen what others have to say.

Good leaders have good teams; great leaders have great teams.
