In a group dynamic, we need to create an agreed-upon and shared worldview, a set of guiding beliefs through which our decisions can be filtered. This enables us to make good judgement calls even in stressful situations. Shared values allow us to unite around shared ideals. When we agree upon them, we are also agreeing to be bound by the behaviours that support the upholding of them. In organisations, this encourages both responsibility and accountability. An organisation’s culture is a manifestation of its values.
