Within the article, “How to link personal values with team values,” Dennis et al explore how differing personal values are brought into the workplace and how companies can utilize these differences towards their common goal. I love how this article looked at different ways that companies utilize their differing employees backgrounds. For example, Nordstrom has one value that the company wants and that is to satisfy customers. They expect that each employee will go about this in their own unique way. Workshops can help with this as well. As I love how the article pointed out that the workplace can be a place where a lot of differing values come together for the benefit of the company as they saw employees learn more about each other, improved diversity, and even helped bring conflict resolution together. Once this comes together I think the activity of shared values for the organization is what brings it to its best potential. When a team can say how they want to see these values throughout different actions, then we can be held accountable and are expected to act according to the values. This will benefit the overall company culture which will in turn, help the business stay on top of their operations.
