Upon completing the Rokeach Value Survey and the Competing Values Framework Assessment, I saw the rankings of my terminal and instrumental values, as well as my managerial role strengths and preferences.
The results showed that inner harmony and freedom are my top two prioritized terminal values and that honesty and forgiveness are my top two instrumental values. I believe that everyone has the right to make their own decisions and to be free to pursue whatever life they want to live. The freedom I have in Canada drives me to strive for success because I know that our freedom is not something that the entire world shares and I want to make the most of it. I also believe that working hard towards my goals will give me inner peace because will I know that I earned my rewards. I am also a strong believer in forgiveness; everyone makes mistakes and deserves second chances. However, I do not think that people should be dishonest just to be nice; I would rather receive constructive criticism than false approval.
Out of the four competing values, I fall into the collaboration quadrant. I like when everyone in an organization has the right and responsibility to participate without fear of negative feedback. As a leader, I must constantly encourage team members to be open-minded about others’ ideas. However, I must responsibly facilitate meetings in order to produce action, as opposed to many ideas and with no decision on an action. In my group, I will encourage members to share their ideas openly, give honest feedback, and forgive any missteps by other team members.
Vision:
As a facilitator, I am eager to engage myself and others into team activities. I value the freedom to share ideas and receive honest feedback.
