Values and Behaviours

It is an error to see corporate values statements as merely warm and fuzzy statements that make everyone feel good. Rather, they are statements of what an organisation stands for – its main purpose for existence.

We can assist you to understand what guides your people’s behaviour. Clarifying values helps employees work more effectively together by increasing awareness of each other’s priorities and of the things that are important to each member of the team. Values are the foundation for all belief systems. They influence our thoughts and feelings. More importantly, values guide our behaviour.

We can assist your people in clarifying their values, as well as the values of others.

Topics we cover include:

  • Understanding values
  • How values guide behaviour
  • Discovering your own values
  • Understanding others’ values
  • When values conflict
  • The art of self-reflection
  • Understanding another’s perspective

Benefits of clarifying values include:

  • Insight into what motivates team members
  • Improved relationships and morale
  • Appreciation of diversity
  • Resolved conflicts
  • Increased productivity

Values can help your organisation and people to clarify what is important to them. Values serve to raise interesting and important questions and to reveal difficult trade-offs.
