    Thanks for picking up the thread from the Leadership.Now. blog.

    I can tell you what Blohowiak thinks regarding your question about evaluating your team members for performance *and* values: It's perfectly appropriate to assess for values -- as evidenced by behavior. (How else could you evaluate values -- and why would you even try if they didn't impact behavior?)

    Here's the thing: It's tempting to want to know what's in someone's truest heart -- what they believe at a core level. But beliefs and values only matter when they affect what someone does. Actions are the only basis for assessing a person already on your payroll. You can try to divine values when interviewing a new hire, but that is a speculative and tricky business indeed.
