VALUES TOURNAMENT
Welcome to the Quest
We tell ourselves that we make decisions with our intellect: processing logic, reason, and information to arrive at the best possible choice or course of action.
But this is not actually how humans usually work. We make decisions with mental shortcuts driven by our emotions – our hearts, our gut instincts – and then justify them to ourselves or others with logic and reason that we supply after the fact.
Our emotions, meanwhile, are driven by our motivations and preferences – our values. We like and support things, people, and ideas that honor our values; we dislike and attempt to disrupt or avoid those which violate them.
The most successful leaders and teams, however, are conscious of the emotional component of their own decisions. They know their values. They deliberately align their choices with their core values, and turn instinct into inspiration, strategic decision-making, and powerful impact.

Final Insights
Even values that you feel are never important often have an important role to play in individual and organizational success. Intentionally recruiting team members with a diverse set of shared and distinct values may help you compensate for personal blindspots.
Actions signal values...and shared values cannot be declared or forced by posters or powerpoint slides. If there is a conflict between what someone says and what they actually do, the truth is in the latter.
Consistency is essential. Friends, family, and followers will all judge your trustworthiness by how closely your (assessed or stated) values match your behaviors.
