A Word to the Wise:
To clarify your core values, consider asking this question instead: What qualities do I most admire in others?
The answer to that question normally reflects the values we hold most dear. Contemplate the two or three qualities you most admire in others by reflecting on your experiences and reactions in your many prized relationships. This question and its answers will help you cut through the noise and identify what really matters to you.
Good leaders often use this question to ascertain what others value as well. Asking this question in an interview setting when assessing people you don’t know well, such as job candidates, often reveals important insights. Most importantly, their answers will disclose what human attributes they most aspire to possess.
What they admire in others provides leaders with a shortcut into value clarification. Give it a try.
