BUT FIRST LET’S TALK ABOUT VALUES

WHAT ARE THEY?WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com

4

What are Values?

A shorthand way of describing our individual and collective motivations and what is important to us.

They are the energetic drivers of our aspirations and intentions.


5

Positive of Potentially Limiting?

Values can be positive or potentially limiting.

Positive Values: Trust, creativity, passion, honesty, integrity, clarity

Potentially Limiting Values: Bureaucracy, power, blame, greed, hierarchy, status-seeking


6

Where do our Values come from?

Our values are a reflection of our needs. (What ever we need we value.)

We have two sets of needs:

• The needs of the stage of psychological development we are currently operating from.

• The needs of the stages of psychological development we have passed through where we still have unmet needs.


7

PRIMARY MOTIVATION

THE NEEDS OF THE STAGE OF PSYCYHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT YOU ARE AT


8

SECONDARY MOTIVATION

THE UNMET NEEDS OF THE STAGES OF PSYCYHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT YOU HAVE PASSED THROUGH

The needs you have failed to master.


9

Facilitating human potential

This is not a book about coaching per se, it is about the framework of human development that coaches need to be familiar with to facilitate the full emergence of their client’s potential.


10

A personal journeyEvery client you coach is on an evolutionary journey of psychological development.

Stages, Levels and World Views

We grow in stages of psychological development

We operate at levels of consciousness

We live inside (are embedded in) cultural world views


12

Levels of Consciousness

All things being normal, the level of consciousness we operate from will

correspond to the stage of psychological development we have reached.

Growth NeedsWhen these needs are fulfilled they do not go away, they engender deeper levels of motivation and commitment.

Deficiency NeedsAn individual gains no sense of lasting satisfaction from being able to meet these needs, but feels a sense of anxiety if these needs are not met.

What is Cultural Entropy?

The amount of energy that is consumed in an organisation doing unnecessary or unproductive work that does not add value.

It is a measure of the conflict, friction and frustration that employees encounter in their day-to-day activities that prevent the organisation from operating at peak performance.

Five Levels of Employee Engagement

Highly Engaged Employees bring passion, purpose and discretionary energy to their work. They are emotionally attached and committed to the organisation and want to do the right thing.

Engaged Employees are willing to go the extra mile to support the company in achieving its goals and objectives as long as they can also satisfy their own goals and objectives.

Becoming Disengaged

Employees are becoming frustrated, anxious and fearful about not being able to satisfy their needs.

Disengaged Employees do what they have to do to get through the day, but are unwilling to put in any extra effort to meet deadlines or support their colleagues in difficult times.

Highly Disengaged

Employees are unhappy at their work and act out their unhappiness by actively undermining the company, and denigrating those who want to succeed.

Highly Engaged Employees

Highly engaged employees identify with the company. They care passionately about the future of the company. They bring passion and purpose to their work. They are willing to invest their discretionary effort to make

the company a success. They want the company to do the right thing. They want to feel pride in the way the company behaves.


63

Cultural entropy is a function of the personal entropy of the current leaders of an organisation and institutional legacy of past leaders as embedded in the structures, systems, policies and procedures.

How Does Cultural Entropy Arise?


64

What is Personal Entropy?

Personal entropy is the amount of fear-driven energy that a person expresses in his or her day-

to-day interactions with other people.

It is a measure of a lack of a person’s lack of personal mastery skills. Fear-driven energy arises from the

conscious and subconscious fear-based beliefs of the ego about meeting its deficiency needs.
