Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Both/And, Bessi Graham explores the major differences between and meaning behind aspirational values and core values.  The work of Patrick Lencioni has had a significant impact on my professional practice, and I have applied his values-based approach while working with numerous business leaders and entrepreneurs worldwide.

It is crucial to identify when individuals or organizations label aspirational values as core values. Aspirational values are noble intentions to live in accordance with our values, but without differentiating between core and aspirational values, communicating them to our team, customers, and stakeholders may result in negative consequences. Hence, it is essential to understand this distinction to prevent any unintended consequences.
