Module 2 – Lesson 2
In this lesson you’ll learn:
- The basic terms for understanding and explaining core values to teams
- The different sections of the report
- Insight into how this report can help you better understand your team, and help your team to better understand themselves
What is the COREvalues report?
The COREvalues report begins by sharing the top five COREvalues of each member of the team. These individual reports include the values, their descriptions, and what “quadrant” the values belong to.
The report also includes the individual’s Quadrant Blend and COREstyle, which are based upon their top values and are fully explained at the bottom of each person’s individual report.
Your COREstyle is the combination of your top two quadrants. For example, if your core values fall primarily in the Artistic Quadrant and second in the Inspired Quadrant, then your COREstyle™ is a blend of Artistic and Inspired, which we call a Trailblazer.
Next, the COREvalues report depicts the team’s shared COREvalues, allowing team members the opportunity to see how their individual values align with the collective values.
Included with the shared values section is what we call the “heat map.” This heat map reflects each team member’s COREstyle and its placement within the four quadrants. Each person is listed in the circle representing his or her COREstyle. The heat map gives teams a visual of how their COREvalues fit together. Teams can interact with the heat map, understanding their areas of unity and diversity.
In the report Appendix, you will find an in-depth explanation of the COREvalues heat map (see below).
The COREvalues assessment and report give teams tools to investigate and discuss what is most important to them. As teams discuss their values and the stories behind them, greater understanding and better communication emerge.
The COREvalues discussions helps teams:
- Understand the “why” behind their colleagues’ actions
- Foster communication that ensures people feel seen and heard
- Assess the strengths of the team to leverage for success
- Note areas of weakness to help with hiring and/or teambuilding
