To me what they are describing are ethics documented in a policy. They sound very lifeless. Values should come from the deepest part of you- they are your guiding compass in life. They aren't a set of enforced rules.]]> 2020-02-18 05:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gsbvid/d5bnnjs61gh5/wish/446640063 https://padlet.com/gsbvid/d5bnnjs61gh5/wish/446694350 I agree with the person above in that the document is focused on ethics rather than values.  The 'values' described in the paper read like a code of conduct.  Organisational values make me think of what Ursula Burns, CEO of Xerox said ie. celebrate the things you love that people do and tell lots of stories about those things, so the things you don't love fade into the background.  To me an organisation setting out its values is an organisation sending signals to its employees that these are the values that underpin the behaviours we want to see in our organisation.  Values are meaningless unless they are aligned to the vision and congruent with culture and behaviour within an organisation.  I have seen them used most effectively as a means of recognising and reinforcing desired behaviours within an organisation however can become a big problem if leaders are not seen to walk the talk of the values they are espousing. ]]> 2020-02-18 09:23:46 UTC https://padlet.com/gsbvid/d5bnnjs61gh5/wish/446694350 https://padlet.com/gsbvid/d5bnnjs61gh5/wish/457335851 I agree with the comments made previously.  Values are the item that attracts and hold you to an organisation in the good times and the tough times.  When you align with the values of your organisation and the organisation practices within the values it has set itself - even if ethics is part of that it can make you jump out of bed and run to work every day.  Ethics can be part of the values and as long as you align with this and role model this to your team then they will buy into the WHY we all do what we all do.  When everyone is buying into the WHY it is amazing!!!! Coaching can be used to check in if everyone sees the same meaning around values - what are the views of the group? What can be the re-alignment to make a shared vision /value - if not everyone has the same view? Coaching could offer enrichment to a collective view/group of values that the team/group buy into and then perform too.  This output would have an onflow to the customer which I would think to be positive if what came out of the group was a collective understanding of what everyone came together to do.  Coaching also provides a check in of values to make sure everyone can keep working to the same or growing value that comes from business and working together.  Sue Cosgrove]]> 2020-03-10 04:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/gsbvid/d5bnnjs61gh5/wish/457335851
