(How else could you evaluate values -- and why would you even try if they didn't impact behavior?) <br><br>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.<br><br>Don BlohowiakDon BlohowiakFri, 17 Jun 2005 22:14:54 -0000
