I know that Model the Way is easy to understand. Kouzes and Posner talked about the Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. If only the two American trainers understood Filipino values, they would have seen how creative and imaginative Filipinos are. Making participants choose from the values that they’ve been swimming since childhood is much more fun. There are more engaging activities than what was provided in the book. But I think we can change our core values, too, since core values are not like our DNA. 1 Collins said that we don’t set our core values, we discover them. I shared with them the techniques I use for “Getting the Core Values Right” and “Mission to Mars”. I have designed my version of the Good to Great program too. His terminologies, not the concepts, are unfamiliar to Filipinos. If you have read Collin’s book, you know that no Filipino company was part of his study. Since I had handled the same group before, I was sure speaking in English was not a problem. They said everyone was quiet no one wanted to participate in discussions.
They told me their workshop participants found it difficult to understand the concepts. They were sent by their company to conduct leadership training based on Good to Great by Jim Collins. While waiting for my flight to Manila, I met two Americans. I understand that the younger generation of professionals may find some of the values unfamiliar.īut they’ll surely recognize each when I show the asal (behaviors) that demonstrate each value. Use these values to teach personal development and leadership. Use these values to educate, empower, and motivate Filipinos. You will understand why Filipinos do what they do. I will describe later 29 Filipino values. Since Filipinos are grouped into many islands, dialects, and ethnic groups, some values may be emphasized more in one group than others. And we balance our personal values with communal values. We have personal values, which are like lighthouses that tell us what to avoid and what to pursue. They are the guiding principles of our lives. Values are the community standards of what’s valuable. We are swimming in values that we do not notice how our decisions are informed by them. Like all other humans, Filipinos are not conscious of our values because we have internalized them in the process of growing up. Filipino values serve as Filipinos’ lenses on how they see things around them.
