What values do you need to meet to motivate your team?
Theory of Basic values
When we share appreciation and tell someone why we really like them, we share information about ourselves. We tend to give praise in areas that are important to us. Hence, byt analysing what praise is given, we can actually see what is important to the person who shares the information.
Shalom Schwartz’s Theory of Basic Human Values (TBHV) identifies ten universal personal values, such as security, achievement, and benevolence, that are recognized across cultures as guiding principles for behavior. The theory explains how these universal values arise from basic human requirements for biological survival, social interaction, and the welfare of groups.
By analysing the appriciation shared in the group, we can see how dominant the different needs are. Use this information to guide your communication styles with the group.

Definition of the values or needs
Universalism
Understanding, appreciation, tolerance, and protection for the welfare of all people and for nature. Universalism values derive from survival needs of individuals and groups. But people do not recognize these needs until they encounter others beyond the extended primary group and until they become aware of the scarcity of natural resources. People may then realize that failure to accept others who are different and treat them justly will lead to life-threatening strife. They may also realize that failure to protect the natural environment will lead to the destruction of the resources on which life depends. Universalism combines two subtypes of concern—for the welfare of those in the larger society and world and for nature.
Benevolence
Preserving and enhancing the welfare of those with whom one is in frequent personal contact (the in-group). Benevolence values derive from the basic requirement for smooth group functioning and from the organismic need for affiliation. Benevolence values
emphasize voluntary concern for others welfare.
Tradition
Respect, commitment, and acceptance of the customs and ideas that one’s culture or religion provides. Groups everywhere develop practices, symbols, ideas, and beliefs that represent their shared experience and fate. these become sanctioned as valued group customs and traditions. They symbolize the group’s solidarity, express its unique worth, and contribute to its survival.
Conformity
Restraint of actions, inclinations, and impulses likely to upset or harm others and violate social expectations or norms. Conformity values derive from the requirement that individuals inhibit inclinations that
might disrupt and undermine smooth interaction and group functioning. As I define them,
conformity values emphasize self-restraint in everyday interaction, usually with close others. (obedient, self-discipline, politeness, honoring parents and elders) [loyal,
responsible]
Security
Safety, harmony, and stability of society, of relationships, and of self. Security values derive from basic individual and group requirements. Some security values serve primarily individual interests (e.g., clean),
others wider group interests (e.g., national security). Even the latter, however, express, to a significant degree, the goal of security for self or those with whom one identifies. (social order, family security, national security, clean, reciprocation of favors) [healthy, moderate, sense of belonging]
Power
Social status and prestige, control or dominance over people and resources.
Achievement
Personal success through demonstrating competence according to social
standards. Competent performance that generates resources is necessary for individuals to survive and for groups and institutions to reach their objectives. As defined here, achievement values emphasize demonstrating competence in terms of prevailing cultural standards, thereby obtaining social approval.
Hedonism
Pleasure or sensuous gratification for oneself. Hedonism values derive from organismic needs and the pleasure associated with satisfying them.
Stimulation
Stimulation values derive from the organismic need for variety and stimulation in order to
maintain an optimal, positive, rather than threatening, level of activation.
Self-Direction
Self-direction derives from organismic needs for control and mastery and interactional requirements of autonomy and independence. (creativity, freedom, choosing own goals,
curious, independent)
