Barrett Values Centre

There are 4️⃣ types of values that we find in an organizational setting: Individual values, relationship values, organizational values, and societal values. 👤 Individual values reflect how you show up in your life and your specific needs-the principles you live by and what you consider important for your self-interest. Individual values include enthusiasm, creativity, humility, and personal fulfillment. 👥 Relationship values reflect how you relate to other people in your life, be they friends, family, or colleagues in your organization. Relationship values include openness, trust, generosity, and caring. 📈 Organizational values reflect how your organization shows up and operates in the world. Organizational values include financial growth, teamwork, productivity, and strategic alliances. 🌎 Societal values reflect how you or your organization relates to society. Societal values include future generations, environmental awareness, ecology, and sustainability.

Inc. Magazine Editor-in-Chief Mike Hofman spoke with some of the youngest entrepreneurs on the Inc. 5000 list and observed that young leaders "across industry and geography, are not just thinking about culture. They are obsessed with it." He says that if these young leaders can "maintain their focus on a strong culture and greater flexibility, they will likely be changing the way we as a society think about work and how we value our time." At BVC, we're energized by the next generation of leaders and look forward to partnering with them to create a strong alignment between culture, leadership, and strategy. https://loom.ly/Lvlt1ns

✅ A healthy work culture requires healthy conflict. 🙁 But conflict is inherently hard. ➡️ This article shares some valuable tips for having those hard conversations, explaining: "Some people call it a hard conversation, but there's an implicit expectation that it will only be hard for the other person. This in turn creates the mindset of being "right" and just needing to deliver the message to the other person, as if you're delivering a monologue and leaving it to the other person to navigate the difficulty of it. Ensuring that you are prepared for it to be hard for you will help you stay engaged and present through the discomfort of the actual conversation."
