You may sort on these Values: (do it only once or twice when facilitating)

Knowledge, Uniqueness, Influence, Structure

You should NOT sort on these Values:

Money or Helping… many reasons, and you probably know some of them...

What is a Value?

•Values are abstract concepts of what is right, worthwhile, or desirable.

•Values are principles or standards by which one acts.

•Values are beliefs held so strongly that they affect the behavior of an individual or an organization.
