What you say matters, and what the diary says
Ask a leadership team for its values and you will have a confident list within minutes. Ask each person which value they gave up a little of last week, and the room goes quiet.
The worksheet takes you from a long list to 5 ranked values, then holds each one up against your last week. The gap between rank and score usually explains a good deal about how a week feels. Allow 45 minutes.
What is in it
- A short introduction. Where values sorting comes from, and why there are no right answers.
- Template A, the values list. 42 values to tick, with room to add your own.
- Template B, the worksheet. Your 5 values, what each looks like in practice, when you last lived it, and a score.
- The user guide. 8 steps from a long list to one change for next week.
The list is a prompt. Cross out any word on it and add your own.
Who is it for
Three readers each at a point where priorities are shifting.
The senior leader
The role has grown, and so has the list of things that matter. Time to choose which 5 come first.
The newly promoted
A new job tests old values. Worth knowing which ones you will protect.
The founder
The company's values are on the wall. This is about yours.
Want to talk your values through?
Five words on a page are a start. The useful conversation is usually about the value you ranked first and found least of in your diary.
