What Are Values? What Others Have Said…• “Treasured beliefs”• “Honored beliefs we want to express”• “Motivators”• “My moral compass”• “My rudder”• “Guiding principles”• “Freely chosen; act on consistently over

period of time”

• Pick approximately five - ten values that are most meaningful to you.

• Don’t worry about prioritizing these, just choose values that really represent guiding principles in your life.

• Record the values in your notes (if you have your journal with you, even better), and take a moment to write a few words or phrase for each, that capture what that value means to YOU. Be as specific as you can.

What is personality?Personality:

– The overall profile or combination of characteristics that capture the unique nature of a person as that person reacts and interacts with others.

Determined by Heredity and Environment:

– Heredity sets the limits on the development of personality characteristics.

– Environment determines development within these limits.

– Cultural values and norms play a substantial role in the development of personality.

– Social factors, including family life, religion, education and many other kinds of formal and informal groups also play a substantial role in the development of personality.

Sample Journal Questions to Address• How do you express your values in your life in general?

• Which of your values are expressed in your current job? Which are not? What are the implications?

• How are you best motivated? Are you being motivated that way now? If not, what will you do about it?

• Does your current manager know what is important to you and how to motivate you? If not, what will you do about it?

• If you are a manager, do you know what the values and motivators are for each direct report? If so, how do you use that knowledge to improve performance? If not, what can you do about it?

• Which drivers of motivation – Acquire, Bond, Comprehend, Defend – does your organization meet and do you as a manager meet?

Field Research for Class 3

Find out what process your organizationuses to assess performance (i.e. PDP,PMP, etc). Specifically, • What are the components? Are there required

aspects? Optional?• What is the timing? • Is compensation tied to performance?• Bring a copy of the form (does everyone use

the same form in your organization?)

organization, what has your experience

been with the performance management

system?
