After reading the article title “Personal Values and Performance in Teams: An Individual and Team-Level Anaylisis, I found it to be very interesting and though provoking. I enjoyed how it broke down Personal Values into four differnet setions. Personal values play a huge, important role in team atmospheres, as ethics and morals come into play. Especially considered evryone has differnet personal values, they can all fall into the same catrgoues behind personal values. In a team setting, I believe it is important for everyone apart of the team to have similar personal values, as I believe that is the best way for the team to be able to respect and work together, without creating a toxic environemnt. This makes it easier to understand why some people are just not a good fit within some teams, and why some teams work very well together and others dont. It is extremely important to discuss personal values and have a good understanding of every member of a team that you may be leading or apart of.

This article reminds me of a time when I was on student council in high school and had to work with a group to make important decsions for our graduatiing class. This team did not work well together, as the dynamics changed often and people could not agree or respect that other people have different oponions and values. This is something we see so often in the world today. Many companies and franchises begin having issues when leadership positions change, causing dynamics to change.
