Work-related Values People who are most satisfied with their work, usually have taken time to review and assess their values in relation to their work, establish their priorities and identify those situations in which expectations are likely to be met. Personal Exercise:    Make a list of the items that "bug" you in your
      present work situation.  (List 5 to 15 items)

   Take these items and place them in a positive
      light. (e.g. My boss tells me exactly what
      needs to be done, establishes perimeters and
      then lets me get it done my way)

   Rank the statements in:

      Order of importance to you

      Those expectation that must be fulfilled

      Which values are you willing to
         compromise

Work Environment

   Research has found that blue is best used
      in places where men work and a warm camel
      color in women's work areas.

   Reason:  Men feel five degrees warmer
      than women at the same room temperature.    (Wagner Institute for Color Research, Santa Barbara, CA)
