Your team is full of individuals with different values (preferences and styles). The question I am posing today is: do you see merit in, or do you judge, values that are different from your own?

I am looking at two different values-preferences today:

1. Rational vs Emotional

2. Impulsive vs Thoughtful

• How do you identify with each of these paired groups? 
• Are there people in your team with the same preference/ style as you?
• Are there people in your team with the opposite approach to you?
• Do you see merit in all approaches or do you judge those that aren't like your own?
• Are you benefitting from the collective intelligence your team has because of these differences, or not?

Something I said today:

"As a leader it's important to look at the team as a whole and ask if you're fully utilising your collective intelligence - which means valuing different approaches to solving problems as being equally worthy." (Rebecca Allen, Host - Her Ambitious Career Podcast)
