Ability to choose.Once you’ve identified your highest values, you can use them to motivate yourself. If
quality relationships and appreciation are high on your value system, how can your
work help you align with these values? Nurturing good quality relationships at work
will allow you to persuade people to support your point of view at times when you
need support to achieve something. Spending time appreciating your staff,
colleagues and bosses allows you to build relationships and align with both values –
this will lead to harmony in the workplace which, in turn, allows for greater success.
