Lavish -

Values will differ person to person. While me might share common ones, our top values are likely to be different. One person might put courage first while another would put safety first.

Research by Rushworth Kidder has shown that 8 human values seem to be regarded (felt) by most humans. These include the 4 values from the PMI Code of Ethics, by chance.

- respect - we do not like if somebody talked deceptive about others, calls them names
- responsibility - we like if someone commits to the consequences of their actions and non-actions
- honesty - we do not like to be lied to or being told the half-truth
- fairness, equality - we think we should be treated like everybody else
- community - we feel safe as part of family, team, club, religion and fear isolation
- autonomy - we want to perceive having a choice and not being forced into something
- compassion - we like helping others, we are happy when others are
- humility - we do not appreciate to observe bragging about one’s status, achievements or amassing wealth
