Value Alignment
An organization’s values are the basis for defining that organization’s culture. “Companies with strong cultures are clear on what their beliefs and values need to be and take the process of shaping those beliefs and values very seriously. Most important, the values espoused by these companies underlay the strategies they employ” (Pearce & Robinson, 2009, p. 396). Team C believes that values are a person’s beliefs, which are used to guide decisions and behaviors. Conversely, organizational values define the standards of the organization and guide the behaviors of the organization’s employees.
Everyone in Team C has their own personal set of values, even if they aren’t cognizant of them.
