Document Summary
People tend to hold values structured around such factors as achievement, power, autonomy, conformity, tradition and social welfare. Not all people hold the same values. We learn values through the reinforcement process: most are socially reinforced by parents, teachers, and representatives of religion. Hard working, stable, loyal, thorough, detail oriented, focused, emotional maturity. Independent, adaptable, creative, techno-literate, willing to challenge the status quo. Optimistic, able to multitask, tenacious, technologically savvy, driven to learn and grown, team oriented, socially responsible. Treat as equals, warm and caring, mission-defined, democratic approach. Direct, competent, genuine, informal, flexible, results- oriented, supportive of learning opportunities. Motivational, collaborative, positive, educational, organized, achievement- oriented, able to coach. Most recent research points to more similarities than differences in values across generations. There is some indication that gen x and y are more inclined to value money, status, and rapid career growth than are boomers: could reflect the positive self-esteem movement to which later generations have been exposed.
