On Values

What values actually do inside an organization — including how they get misused.

  1. Values in Action

    How valuing both honesty and stewardship led me to open my company's books to everyone — and why the question you ask determines the answer you get.

  2. The Tension Between Values

    Values are not a roadmap, they're guideposts — and the space between them is vast. On the conflict that arises inside your values, not outside them.

  3. Overcoming Challenges Between Values

    Shared values don't make the right decision obvious to everyone. Stop pretending they do — and face the disagreement openly instead.

  4. Values: Can they be Weaponized?

    The stage nobody warns you about: when people twist shared values to justify the comfortable decision. What I got wrong trying to argue them out of it.
