D082 Task 2
A. Personal Values
Explain your top FOUR personal core values (e.g., accountability, honesty, integrity, respect, loyalty,
fairness, etc.) with detail on “why” they are personally meaningful to you. (Unit 2: Module 2).
Tip: Be sure to select four distinct values. For example, honesty and truthfulness might be too similar.
And be sure to explain why these four values are personally meaningful to you.
Enter your responses in the list below.
1. Accountability is important to me because it’s an acknowledgement that one isn’t perfect, but is
doing their best. Being accountable when everything is going well is easy, but to be accountable when
something has gone wrong is courageous. It sets the tone that mistakes are inevitable, but that
continuous improvement is required as well.
2. Integrity is doing what one knows is right no matter the circumstances. Integrity demonstrates
discipline and trustworthiness despite anything, predictable or not. The world as we know it would
fall apart if it weren’t for integrity.
3. Respecting other people allows one to learn from everyone, and to bring harmony wherever they
go. Respect is giving oneself the opportunity to give someone else a chance to express themselves.
Respect is also needed to foster successful relationships.
4. Fairness is important because everyone should be on a level playing field. Fairness allows merit to
be the deciding factor in who wins and who loses. Fairness ensures that the best of the best succeed,
and not the lucky, most connected, or wealthiest.
B. Compare Values
Evaluate how EACH of your FOUR core values from Part A “align” or “misalign” to the Alliah
Company's values and social responsibility.
Tip: Start by identifying at least two values from the Alliah Company scenario. You must individually
compare all four of your values from part A, and state whether it aligns or misaligns (use those words)
to one of Alliah’s values from the scenario. Examples of Alliah’s values can be seen in their mission
statement, ethics statement, corporate social responsibility statement, and recommended best
practices,
Enter your responses in the list below.
1. Respect misaligns with Alliah’s current situation since one of the suggestions by HR was to
“[understand] that employees are valuable not just for their ideas that could lead to profits but as
individuals who are valuable on their own merits.” Realizing that employees are real people with real
lives is respectful, but unfortunately it seems that Alliah doesn’t practice that.
