Respond to Andrew
Respond to One way that one can align personal and organizational values is by the
organization’s vision statement. At my current job at the Hackensack Meridian School of
Medicine, I was read the organization’s mission and vision statements during my interview.
In the interview, we discussed the goals of the organization and how I can use my
experience and skill set to help meet those goals. Our vision statement on our website reads
“Each person in New Jersey, and in the United States, regardless of race or socioeconomic
status, will enjoy the highest levels of wellness in an economically and behaviorally
sustainable fashion.” Through our discussion, the team was convinced that I would be able
to help the school realize this vision.
I think that any job applicant should read the organization’s mission and vision statements
before interviewing or even applying for a position. This will ensure that the applicant is
aware of the expectations of the company and their goals for the future before getting their
foot in the door. Leaders can set regular meetings to continuously go over the mission and
vision statements, as well as assess the progress toward those statements and what can be
done to further that progress.
Respond to Kimberly
Personal values are developed throughout an individual’s life. They are influenced by family
background, religious beliefs, exposure to other cultures, and life experiences (Gunetilleke,
De Silva & Lokuge, 2011). These personal values may be very different from an individual’s
professional values. The main clash comes in being entrapped in never-ending competition
for achievement – measured by material gains, possessions/assets, position and influence –
with little scope for contentment (Gunetilleke et al., 2011). People who want to be successful
in their career have to find a balance between their personal and professional values.
Individuals who are able to connect some of their personal values to a company’s values are
more likely to be satisfied working for that company and motivated to work harder to see
the company succeed. Leaders play a big role in guiding their employees to connect to the
company’s values.
A good leader is one who can identify the prominent skills and preferences of each
individual team member. Based on this information, the leader can fit the member with the
appropriate responsibilities which then results in the creation of an effective team and
ultimately increased job satisfaction. There are many organizational development tools that
can help leaders identify an individual’s learning preferences and how they deal with
conflict. These development tools can enable a leader to create a cohesive yet diverse team.
Additionally, many companies offer team building programs to help the team gain trust and
work successfully together toward a common goal. I’m not convinced that a team can be
successful without having undergone some form of training. Members need to find some
similarity in their personal values in order to build trusting relationships which is the basis of
a successful productive team.
