In this post, I’m using the article “How to Link Personal Values with Team Values” by Dennis Jaffe and Cynthia Scott. While reading this article, it reminded me how in our group assignment we had to choose a CEO based on what our values are as a company and what we want in that CEO. When giving our core values in our company and what characteristics we want in our future CEO, it’s important that we understood that our CEO is a reflection of our company’s values. In the article it says, “Personal values provide an important bridge to team values that everyone can commit to. Personal values are real in that they help guide people’s behavior.” Not everyone in this world have the same values and beliefs and that’s what makes teams unique because being able to understand other people’s values that are different than mine, we can able to work through different ideas and have a common goal or agreement. For example, I’m one of the leader’s on the women’s basketball team here at NC State, everybody has different values and beliefs, but we all have a common goal which is to win and get to the National Championship so being able to recognize these different core values can help us in the long run. I think that it’s better to have a diverse team because they bring different values and characteristics to help the team get to our common goal, as it said in the article that having the same values as a team can be easy, but having different values can make the team better in so many ways.
