Values

Values are what people or societies accept to be morally, socially, and/or aesthetically good, desirable, and/or important. The value people attach to certain ideas or activities helps them set their priorities; people tend to be happiest when their work matches their values. For example, people who value fairness see it as morally right and socially desirable and will be most comfortable at work when they perceive their organization’s decisions to be fair.

Transformation

Transformation is a major change or shift in the way an organization operates, a change that has a significant financial or social impact on the organization and its stakeholders. It changes not only the organization’s operations but also its metrics and even culture. For example, Microsoft made a transformation in the past decade by switching its product focus from software to the cloud and changing its culture focus from the product to the people creating it.

Transferable skills

Transferable skills are, as the name suggests, behaviors that are transferable to a variety of work situations. These skills involve how people respond to their thoughts and feelings, their work, and other people. These skills are often the key factor in being selected for a job, keeping and advancing in a job, and successfully moving into new roles. Sometimes these skills are called soft skills to distinguish them from “hard skills”, or technical, knowledge-based skills that are often specific to a position or field. Some examples of transferable skills include self-awareness, time management, and effective communication. Most of what we call leadership skills are also transferable skills.

Sustainability

Sustainability means using resources efficiently now so that there will be sufficient resources in the future. Sustainability can be thought of in terms of human resources as well as the environment: in a sustainable workplace, people are managed in a way that does not deplete their reserves of energy and motivation. For example, a sustainable company might work on reducing its fossil fuel use while also conserving employee energy through training opportunities, interruption-free periods, and workload management.

Self-efficacy

Self-efficacy refers to your beliefs about your ability to carry out the tasks needed to achieve your goals. With self-efficacy, you feel you have the ability and determination to overcome obstacles and take control of your situation. For example, if you need to give a high-stakes presentation and you believe you are capable of preparing and delivering it even though it may be difficult or stressful, you probably have high self-efficacy about this task.

Self-consciousness

Self-consciousness is similar to self-awareness in that it has an inner and outer aspect. Inner self-consciousness is attention to and concern about your thoughts and feelings, often with an attempt to understand and analyze those thoughts. Outer self-consciousness is an awareness of and concern about how you and your behavior appear to others. For example, a very self-conscious person might think deeply about how he should respond to feedback while also being careful to appear open and accepting.
