“Value Hierarchies : The Ultimate Judgment of Success “

“A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately live at peace with himself.”

- Abraham Maslow



What are values? Simply, they are your own private personal and individual beliefs about what is most important to you. Your values are your belief systems about right, wrong, good and bad. The feeling of congruity, or personal wholeness and unity comes from the sense that we are fulfilling our values by our own present behavior.



It is extremely important to discover what our values are. The challenge for most people is that many of these values are unconscious often people don’t know why they do certain things they just feel they have to do them. Conflict occurs when you promise to be with your family one evening and then a business opportunity arises what you choose to do depends on what you place as your highest value at the time so now it is a tool for discovering people.



One can create hierarchy of values for work environment. Create the context of work and ask. “What is important to me about working”? You might say creativity. The next obvious question would be what’s important about creativity? You may answer, when I am creative I feel like growing” What’s important about growing? Continue from there. If you’re a parent, I suggest you can do the same thing with your kids. By finding out the things that timely motivate them; you’ll come up with uniquely effective tools for more effective parenting.
