The Importance of Values in Decision Making

Values are becoming the preferred mode of decision-making in business. 

If we use our values to make decisions, our decisions will align with the future we want to experience. Therefore, they can be used for making tough decisions in complex situation that we have not experienced before. 

When we use values in decision making, we are consciously creating the future we want to experience. Values are not constrained by the past and are adaptable to new situations. Since the world we live in, particularly the business world, is becoming increasingly complex, chaotic, and unpredictable, values provide a more flexible mode of decision-making than beliefs. 

Values are the anchors we use to make decisions so we can weather a storm. They keep us aligned with our authentic self. They keep us true to ourselves and the future we want to experience.
