Response to Palak’s response to Pierre- Strategic Leadership Team HC1
In my opinion, team members should have shared values because this is where successful communications begin. Lepsinger (2010) also enlightened that leader and employees should not have two different sets of values (p.17). One person’s actions directly or indirectly have an impact on others within the same team.For instance, I am working as a fundraiser for a non-profit organization which has an audition period testing values, purpose, and ethics of an employee before officially hiring them. It is to make sure everyone in the office is on the same page as we work in close relation to each other and acts of one person do have consequences for the other. If the personal values of the employee do not align with others or with the organizations’ it may yield negative results. As explained in the laws that no one’s work is performed in isolation, individual actions have consequences on the team as a whole. Having an effective solution to a problem or developing new ideas as a team does require various skill sets, different opinions and approaches but the core values behind them must be similar and matching to the organizations’ values for its growth and success.
