Change does not have to begin at the top of an organization Values are beliefs about what is fundamentally important. They affect your decision making and your behaviors, whether you are conscious of them or not.

Your real values are reflected by your behavior, and if your espoused values are not consistent with your behavior, you will lose credibility and trust.

The same is true for teams. When a team identifies and commits to living shared values, there is a deeper level of trust, better problem-solving, and increased collaboration.
