BUILDING A VALUES-DRIVEN NATIONFebruary 2013Why, in some of the worlds oldest democracies, in an era in which democracy as a form of government has triumphed, is public confidence in political leaders and the institutions of democratic governance at or near an all time low?

People are becoming more skeptical about politicians, less attached to political parties, and less trusting of government institutions.PreamblePowerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#The opportunities for political involvement in traditional forms of representative democracy is scandalously low. Casting a few votes during a multiyear electoral cycle leaves insufficient room for citizen input.

The lack of trust in politicians, and government institutions, combined with the lack of control people have over their lives is causing unparalleled levels of apathy among the voting public . These are some of the conclusions of Pharr and Putnam in their book, Disaffected Democracies.Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#The Issue A Values ShiftModern political democracies are built on power and authority. This is what attracts politicians. Consequently we see a never ending trail of lies, corruption and greed among the governing elites as they struggle to out do each other and come out on top. Politicians are focused at the survival and self-esteem levels of consciousness.

Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#The Issue A Values ShiftMeanwhile citizens have moved on. They are seeking involvement and participation. They want their voices to be heard. They no longer want to be controlled by political elites and political parties. They want more say in making the decisions that affect their daily lives. They are focused at the relationship and transformation levels of consciousness. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#The Big Question

The concept of Cultural Entropy was developed by the Barrett Values Centre as a way of measuring the level of cultural dysfunction that people perceive in a group (organisation, community, nation) to which they belong or participate in.

Conclusion: There is no relationship between Human Development Index (HDI) and cultural entropy.Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#What cultural entropy isnt connected to:

Cultural entropy is not related to the level of democracy (EIU Democracy Index).

Cultural entropy is not related to the level of development (UN Human Development Index).

Cultural entropy is not related to size of country. You can live in a full liberal democracy with an advanced level of development in a small or large country and still experience high levels of cultural entropy. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#What cultural entropy represents:

Cultural entropy is a direct reflection of the character and quality of leadership of an organisation, community or nation, and the amount of care and attention leaders give to meeting the needs of the people in their organisation, community or nation as opposed to meeting their own needs.

Low entropy signifies that peoples needs are being met. High entropy signifies that peoples needs are not being met. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#Cultural Entropy in OrganisationsCultural EntropyEmployee EngagementAs cultural entropy decreases the level of employee engagement increases. Low entropy indicates that people are able to get, have or experience what they value. This leads to high performance and profitability. When entropy is high people feel anxious/fearful/unhappy/frustrated with their organisational environment/culture. This creates low performance. (Based on research carried out by BVC and Hewitt) Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#Peoples Trust in Government LeadersThere appears to be a relationship between the trust that people have in their Government and the level of cultural entropy. Based on data from the Edelman Global Trust Barometer Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#What is cultural entropy?

Cultural entropy is a measure of the level of anxiety/fear/ unhappiness/frustration that people feel about being able to meet their basic needs and satisfy their growth needs (get, have or experience what they value)in the environment/context in which they live.

You feel anxious and fearful if your basic needs are not being met, but once they are met, you turn your focus to satisfying your growth needs. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#Basic Needs and Growth Needs

The level of psychological development you have reached;

The context in which you are living; and

The situation you are experiencing.

Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#Each stage of psychological development is associated with specific and values and needs. As we grow and develop, our values change in accordance with our changing needs. The proportion of people in the UK in different age groups who hold the values of friendship and honesty. Friendship becomes less important in our lives as we get older and honesty becomes more important. Based on results of the UK National Values Survey (2012).

Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#The Context You Live InThe second factor determines what we value is the context we live in.

Let us compare two people. One of the born into a wealthy educated family in a rich liberal democracy, and one of them born into a poor, remote farming community in an country ruled by iron-fisted Generals.

The person in the rich liberal democracy would take the values of health and safety (survival level), and freedom and equality (transformation level) for granted. They would be more focused on higher order values such fairness, openness, transparency and trust (internal cohesion level). Meanwhile the individual living in the poor authoritarian regime would have a daily focus on survival, safety, health. Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#The Situation You are ExperiencingThe third factor determines what we value is the situation we are currently experiencing.

No matter what stage you have reached in your psychological development, if you are poor and dont have enough money to nourish yourself or your family and provide a home for them, you will value employment opportunities (a steady income or job).

If you have satisfied your survival needs but live in a high-crime neighbourhood, you will value safety.

If you are young and have just moved to a new neighbourhood, you will value friendship.Powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#What we value is first of all what is missing in our lives to satisfy our basic needs, and secondly, what we need in our lives to fulfill our growth needs.

What we value depends on the stage we have reached in our psychological development; whether we are happy not depends on our ability to get, have or experience what we value in the context in which we live and our current life conditions.What We ValuePowerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage cultures.www.valuescentre.com#This is why the leaders of values-driven organisations, communities and nations focus on what people want to meet their basic needs and find personal fulfillment.
