Your Team’s Values
Set a goal to include a work values discussion with your colleagues or direct reports. Remember to ask the three questions:
- What do you value?
- Why do you value it?
- Where did that value come from?
Look for opportunities to connect what your team members value with what the organization values. Identifying the connection of team members with the organization values can provide a powerful sense of motivation and engagement.

Reflection is critical to learning. It taps into our Spiritual Intelligence, an inner awareness below the level of consciousness. It triggers emotions which act as cognitive markers to facilitate memory. The science shows these activities will increase both memory and understanding, so we recommend that you truly invest in them.
