The values within my organization are simple and clearly outlined from higher headquarters throughout the organization as a whole. The Army Values set the foundation with what is expected from each individuals and work as a simple code to follow. The Values are: Loyalty, Duty, Respect, Selfless Service, Honor, Integrity, and Personal Courage. In addition to these basic values individuals are expected to continually advance themselves in individual and collective skill sets. These values are generally outlined within each individuals unit through various level of leadership.
The values I’ve found to be most important through the self assessment would be to have an opportunity for balance between work life and family life. Next I’d like a stability environment and job security while maintaining flexibility in work structure. Lastly, I value having opportunities for advancement and opportunities for supervision, power, leadership, influence within the organization.
My unit and leaders currently provide great opportunities for advancements both professionally and personally. I’m able to continue my goals of higher education and more demanding levels of responsibility. I really like that they support me in my personal efforts. Having deployed years after year also like I’m afforded a lot of flexibility to maintain my own schedule. Additionally, I’m favorable to the ability to manage my own balance between work and my family time.
Regarding the differences between my assessed values of priority listed above and the major differences are lie within the job security and the stability of my environment. This is largely due to the fact my environment is ever changing between deployments and relocation. Although I have little to no control over these requirements I have learned how to best deal with them for my family and myself. As far as job security it is largely dependent on the promotion and requirements as the nation at large. If there is not a need for me to move up I could eventually be phased out if I reach a terminal rank. Overall, I feel that my personal values are in line with those of m organization and I’m able to work around through differences.
