The personal values of individual group members can often
contribute to or be transformed into shared group values in numerous forms. If
one member of the group has a personal value that they exemplify and the other
member see the benefits of it and why it would be a positive attribute for
their group, it can easily become a shared group value. Also, the many members
of a group can all bring their personal values together to create one large
shared value that best fits the needs of the entire group as a whole. It often
just takes one person’s vision to instill change in others or show the
importance of something that may have easily been overlooked. Therefore, it is
extremely common for the shared group values to come from certain members in
the group, who then guide the group to become better in various ways.
On
a similar note, many people strive to be a person of congruence, but is that
something that is always possible, no. I think it is optimistic to work to be a
person of congruence always, but it is just a part of life that you deal with
tough situations and may have to do something wrong to find the right way. Find
the right ways to act on your values is important, and ultimately being a
person of congruence is absolutely possible, but there will ultimately be speed
bumps along the way. I think it is also important to remember that when being a
person of congruence, it is sometimes the way you deal with not being a person
of congruence that really shows your values and how you exemplify them in your day-to-day
activities. Congruence is the key to taking personal values and allowing them
to become group values.
