JGR 100 Strayer University Personal Behavior and Values Template Assignment 1: Understanding Your Values]

“I said to myself, “Is life about winning football games, or it is it about my kids and the family?”

– Coach

Introduction

Throughout his career as a leader, Coach models the theory that discovering your purpose isn’t about trying to be a carbon copy of your favorite role model or idol, it’s about understanding what you truly value in life and why. Once you’ve taken the time to identify the values that are important to YOU and where they come from, you’ll understand more about how you interact with the world.

This assignment will help you identify how the different groups in your life have impacted your values and how understanding that impact can help you better understand yourself and your purpose.

“If you’re going to build a great career, you had better have a strong foundation. It all comes
back to the priorities and the values that you have in life. – Coach Gibbs
Understanding Your Values Worksheet
PART 1 IDENTIFY YOUR VALUES & GROUPS OF INFLUENCE
In the article What Self-Awareness Really Is (And How to Cultivate It) author Tasha Eurich
states that “Research suggests that when we see ourselves clearly, we are more confident and
more creative. We make sounder decisions, build stronger relationships, and communicate
more effectively.” This worksheet will help you do just that.
In the table below, each row represents a group (past or present) that has influenced your
values. Examples of these groups are your family, church, sports teams, profession, groups
sharing common interests, etc. Select five of these groups and list them in the first column of the
table.
For each of the groups, identify the following:
1. Three (3) positive behaviors that were learned and/or encouraged by the group. For
example your teacher would always expect that you were on time or that you were
assertive during class presentations.
2. Three (3) values that you learned from the group. For example someone could have
learned from a church group to be compassionate or to speak up when one sees
injustices.
a.
Choose your values from the list provided in the Your Values Matter table. Scroll to the
end of this assignment to find this table.
GROUP NAME
Ex: Church
3 POSITIVE BEHAVIORS
Volunteering, Working on a team,
Being on time
3 VALUES LEARNED
Accountability, respect, teamwork

table below)

(Type Group 5

PART 2: RANK YOUR VALUES
How important is each value in your life? Using the “Understanding Your Values” table, choose
10 of your values and put each value in priority order – #1 matters most, #10 matters least. Be
HONEST! It doesn’t matter how someone else would rank these values; it only matters how
important they are to you! Remember, this is about SELF-awareness. Your goal is to identify the
things that matter most to YOU!
In the article How to Live With Purpose, Identify Your Values and Improve Your Leadership,
author Ann Loehr explains how your values give you a sense of purpose. The exercise below
will help you focus on those values. Please complete the following in the table below:
1. List the values according to what matters most to you.
2. Provide a brief definition of what that values means to you in your own words.
3. Write a short sentence about the meaning of each value in the “why does this matter to
me” column. (Ex: If “friendship” is one of your higher values, you might understand it
[and yourself!] better by identifying WHY friendship is such a high priority for you.)
VALUES
(most important
to least
important)
Ex: Friendship
DEFINITION
(what does it mean to
me?)
A special bond/connection
between myself and
another person.
WHY?
(why does this value matter to me?)
Friends are valuable to me because we
provide each other with support during the
positive and difficult times in our lives. Friends
also provide companionship.

PART 3: UNDERSTANDING YOUR VALUES AND INFLUENCE
Now, review both tables. Write a reflection on how you think the groups in your life have helped
you define your own values. Be sure to reference the material from class to support your
response. What can you conclude?
Be sure to address the following:
1. How has this activity provided insight into the effect your groups of influence have on
your personal values? Were you aware of the relationship between the two before doing
this activity? Were you surprised by the amount of influence each group has? Explain
why or why not.
2.
Why is self-awareness so important in the journey to finding your purpose?
3.
How did you determine your top three (3) values overall? Was it difficult to narrow it
down? Explain your reasoning.

JGR100- FINDING YOUR LEADERSHIP PURPOSE
COURSE DESCRIPTION
What is a leadership purpose and why do you need it to succeed? This course will help you determine
your unique leadership purpose by looking at your own values, abilities, and experiences. Coach Joe
Gibbs will share stories, advice, and hard-won insights that will equip you with the strategies to create
your personal game plan. Get ready to lead your life and career with purpose.
Prerequisite: None
COURSE STORY
According to Joe Gibbs, finding your purpose is one of the most important things you can do as an
individual, and as a leader. Did you know that fewer than 20% of today’s business leaders have a strong
sense of their own purpose? Yet those who do are among the world’s most successful leaders. Over the
next 11 weeks, Coach Gibbs will demonstrate how even an “average Joe” like him was able to find
success by living with purpose. He and his team will guide you to discover your own, individual, purpose
by assessing your values, passions, strengths, and personality. Then, he will give you the tools to create
a simple, achievable game plan for success. As you discover your purpose you will begin to see the way
it impacts everything you do as an individual and a leader.
