And how often do you talk about your values? \r\nToo often team or organizational values are meaningless words on the wall (or website). Unless we intentionally take steps to bring these values, the beautifully crafted inspirational values will likely never become core to the culture. \r\nIn this episode, I talk through various strategies to help bring your values to life. I discuss how to translate values into norms or behaviors, how to incorporate values into your accountability systems, and how to modify your ways of working to reflect your values.\r\nThe full episode guide includes a sample agenda, activities, and examples to help your team translate it’s values into norms and incorporate them into your ways of working.

In this case, they are typically derived from the team leader and/or the loudest personalities. \r\nTo generate norms as a team, ask the group, “for each value, what behaviors would we observe if people were living this value?”\r\nCollectively identify the top 1-3 norms to focus on first. These could be the easiest to implement, most needed, greatest ROI, etc.\r\nElevate the norms to the same level of importance as your team’s goals....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vh03-o0OUKG7JnFjtDqtJmV0y385f5sQOifebswPa_E/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQzNjM5LzE2OTA1/Nzg4MDYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
