Values Clarification

The Center for Rural Studies, when I looked at their website on May 17, 2008, had on there something they said was posted from the New England Regional Leadership Program.

The Center said it took no responsibility for the contents. Really? It's posted it on their website isn't it? Why would they post something on their website they don't support? The deal is, when you post something on your website, you take responsibility for it. Point, set, match. No matter how weenie you want to be and say you don't. I think some lawyer suggested they make this mindless disclaimer.

Anyway, it says that people make decisions based on their values. Leaders must be able to understand the difference between their values and the interests of their group. Leaders have to know what they value. Since we should all be leaders, everyone should do this.

I agree with this. Before you start a business look into yourself and understand what your values are. If you don't understand what they are you don't know your voice. And understanding your voice, how you are uniquely you, is crucial to your relating to the world.

They give some exercises you can use to help yourself understand your values and how you relate to the world.

You might want to contact the Center for Rural Studies. They give a phone number of 802 656 3021. I assume they're still around.
