Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- We’ve got nice-sounding values up on the wall and the website, but they do nothing in the room when a real hiring or judgment call is on the table
- I assumed we wanted the same things, but lately our differences keep surfacing and I can’t tell which ones are real gaps in what we value and which are just us never having checked whether we’re actually aligned.
- I’ve named my top values, but looking back at the actual decisions I made this week, I’m not sure my behavior honored a single one of them
- I say I value certain things, but when I look honestly at how I actually spent my week, my real priorities were something else entirely
- I pour everything into one part of my life
