 Dear students, I welcome you in the course of leadership, emotional intelligence, and decision making. This is module number 240 and the discussion topic is valuing. When we talk about human mind functions, we have analysis, synthesis and valuing. Analysis may we break down, synthesis may we make up or valuing may we assign value, we calculate, we evaluate. We find out that what is the value for us, what is the success criteria for it, what is the best perspective for it and we try to judge it with an evaluation. Now to elaborate valuing, there are different things that we need to focus upon. For example, valuing involves mental activities as establishing success criteria, evaluating appraising performance and judging people, what value you assigned to a person or a place. So therefore remember that criticism from the Greek word for a judge is a form of valuing. At the same time, we have to remember in all valuing there is an objective, outside yourself element and a subjective one, which we are actually assigning value to and we often have comparison points. Therefore, remember that we are all born with the capacity to value. We have this capability inherent, we have this capability built in that we can assign things, things, processes value, we can do good and bad. For us, this is an incorporated factor that we can understand the right and wrong expectations and how we can understand them when we can assign a value to them to which things are better and which things are less. So the human capability of valuing is very important because in many calculations, in many perspectives, in relationships, in relationships, in every place, the factor of valuing, this function of the mind is very important and very critical. Now, your author is suggesting a small exercise to find values at the work. This exercise says that make a list of all the values apart from financial values, we are not talking about profits, we are not talking about return on investment, which might influence any business to see in over the coming 10 years. Now you have to see in the next 10 years which value system, which perspectives, which associations you want other than the financial perspectives, which can ensure your survival, co-sustainability, co-development, and you can do it positively and reinforce it. After this, the second step is check to see whether the organization you work for has issued a statement of its corporate values or not. Then you see that on the official website of the organization, in its annual reports, the top management elaborated on which values. And what were those values? Because many a times it is said in management sciences that top management's personal values are going to be the organization's cultural values. Now you have two sets of information. One, you have established a value system that which values should be followed up to develop in the next 10 years. The second, you have seen that your corporate values, your business value system are set by the top management. The third step of this exercise is how far do your organization's values overlap your own philosophy of life. Now you have to see that the values you have determined and the values the organization is determining for yourself, what disconnects are there, what overlapping is there, what is the relationship, what is the difference. Because from here you will have an idea that your sense of giving and assigning value to the organization for the next 10 years and the top management's perspective. In these, where is the balance, where is the clash and where is the synchronization and patronization? That is present. It is very important for us that we value in the right way, neither overestimate, nor underestimate. Because the value given from our side will be the outcome of our analysis and synthesis through which we will be able to understand what is around us. Dear students, human mind functions are three. Valuing, analyzing and synthesizing. We should try to use these three functions of mind better so that our decision making, our creativity, our innovation can be demonstrated and we can get sustainable outcomes. Thank you.
