As you have seen in your readings and videos for this week, values play a large role in organizational decision making. Values are the behaviors that form the basis for relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, and strategic partners. For this week, you will start by understanding your own values and then apply these to an analysis on your personal decision making.
Complete the values exercise from the Fowler video in the readings section. Include the results of the exercise in your response, and the process you used to collect and validate the values data.
Seek out others who you trust and share the results of this exercise with them. You may choose to work with family, friends, and anyone who you trust to provide good feedback to you. Ask them how they view your values. Where are the similarities and differences? Add this information to your list.
Think about the decisions that you have made over the past year. They could be personal or professional, large or small.
Select at least two, one that you were happy with and one that you were not.
Analyze these decisions in light of the values exercise. What changes would you want to make to improve the quality of your decision making?
Determine an action plan to make the changes you have identified. Include individual steps and how you would measure the success of your plan.
