Personal, organizational, and cultural values can affect our decision-making process in our personal and professional lives determining our success or failure.  Every decision renders consequences whether good or bad, and these values can influence its outcome.  Personal, organizational, and cultural values will describe how you will take the journey as well as the achievement of the journey.  These values will be discussed singly and together when used in decision-making in our personal and professional lives.
