• Identify personal core values • Understand team values alignment • Create decision-making foundation • Build deeper connections
Participants clearly identify core values and understand team diversity. They gain a framework for values-based decisions. The team demonstrates higher engagement and participation. Participants share concrete examples of shared values and working preferences.
To focus on work values, narrow the activity to a specific theme relevant to your team. This increases relevance to current projects and makes insights actionable. I've found it helps to tie the values back to specific project goals.
Provide value definitions and encourage personal interpretation. Create a non-judgmental space. Sometimes participants struggle with choosing, so remind them there are no wrong answers.
