What Drives Us? – Values and ORSC

The Importance of Values

Values are the compass that guides our decisions and actions. They shape our relationships, influence our culture, and drive our behaviour. When a team or organisation shares a set of core values, it creates a strong foundation for collaboration, innovation, and resilience.

The Role of Systems Coaching

Systems coaching offers a unique approach to understanding and integrating values into organisational culture. By focusing on the interconnectedness of individuals and systems, coaches can help teams:

• Uncover Hidden Values: Often, values are implicit rather than explicit. Systems coaching helps bring these underlying beliefs to the surface.
• Align Individual and Organisational Values: By exploring personal values, team members can better understand how they contribute to the collective goals.
• Create a Values-Driven Culture: Systems coaching empowers teams to translate values into tangible actions and behaviours, fostering a culture where values are lived, not just listed.
• Resolve Conflict Through Values: When disagreements arise, values can provide a framework for finding common ground and reaching mutually beneficial solutions.

ORSC Tools for Values-Centric Leadership

The Organisation for Relational Systems Coaching (ORSC) offers a rich toolkit for working with values:

• Bringing Down the Vision: This tool helps teams uncover shared aspirations and align them with their values.
• High Dream/Low Dream: By exploring both positive and negative scenarios, teams can identify core values that support desired outcomes.
• Metaskills Wheel: This framework helps individuals and teams connect values to practical behaviours and actions.

By incorporating values into the heart of your organisation and leveraging the power of systems coaching, you can create a culture of purpose, collaboration, and resilience.

Remember, values are not just words on a wall; they are the heartbeat of your organisation. Let's work together to unlock their potential.
