Values First Teams

How to Build a Culture That’s Synchronized for Success

When Values Lead, Teams Succeed Miscommunication. Misalignment. Missed deadlines. Every leader knows the frustration of a team that feels more like a tug-of-war than a unified force. In today’s whirlwind of deadlines and demands, it’s easy to lose sight of the “why” behind the work, leaving your team feeling disconnected and disengaged.

In Values First Teams, Laura Eigel, PhD, shares her proven framework for building an engaging team culture—where shared beliefs create stronger results and individual efforts harmonize to achieve a powerful, collective momentum.Expanding upon her award-winning book, Values First: How Knowing Your Core Beliefs Can Get You the Life and Career You Want, this guide provides a step-by-step approach to creating a workplace where every member feels important and driven by a shared connection.

Drawing from her extensive work with Fortune 500 companies, Dr. Eigel’s proven framework will help you to:

  • Identify and leverage shared values in your team to drive decision-making
  • Align your systems, processes, and communications to the team’s values
  • Create boundaries that empower your team while maintaining accountability
  • Transform workplace conflicts into opportunities for learning and growth
