Constant and rapid changes impact the social, personal, and business aspects of our lives. We constantly search for a meaning, purpose, and opportunities to create a balance in the quality of our personal and work lives. The personal philosophical convictions and principles by which we live and work, comprise the "Personal Values" that guide our daily behaviors, and provide the foundation for our actions by which others judge us. The values we have, both individually and collectively, provide the general parameters that guide our individual, and collective, behaviors. What are those parameters. During more than 30 years in both academic and business worlds, the author, John M. "Chick" Stepahin discovered there is a major incongruity between our individual and collective "personal values" and our subsequent behavior(s). The book, "Personal Values," uncovers and presents many of the incongruent behaviors exhibited and observed in the "World of Work." Many of those behaviors violate universally accepted principles and personal value systems of people. You'll recognize many of the characters in the book, because they're everywhere. "Personal Values" identifies and develops a greater awareness of our behaviors and of those around us. The content and topics are serious, while the writing style is humorous and even sarcastic at times. The foundation our individual and collective "Personal Values" play in our careers and private lives are immeasurable. This book provides awareness into the need for congruency between our values and behaviors.
