Executive SummaryHave you ever wondered “What are they thinking?” when you see otherwise bright people do stupid things or just not apply themselves at the level you know they are capable? Have you ever gotten frustrated that no matter how much you coach, mentor, train, threaten, or cheerlead, people still don’t “get it”? Have you tried to institute change, only to be thwarted by what looks like resistance, laziness, expediency of doing things the “old way”, or conflicting priorities?Virtually every major human science has converged upon an understanding that value, values, and valuing are at the epicenter of all human thought and behavior. People’s choices, actions and reaction are a function of their perception of value. In the decades of behavior and personality approaches to personal, leadership organizational development, nothing has ever permanently changes until people value structures change – even when change or growth is intellectually sound. We introduce herein, a scientific approach to helping people become more value-centered. We define value-centered as a capacity for making good value-adding choices. This is a far more important factor in success, growth, change, leadership and organizational dynamics than intelligence (IQ), emotional intelligence (EI or EQ), or behavior/personality profiling in indicating, supporting and improving a peoples’ propensity for higher levels of performance. Until now, there has not been a solid, structured, proven, scientific way to measure and sustainably improve value-centeredness without bumping up against moral, religious, or political agendas. The 6 Advisors process for fostering value-centeredness is not some new twist on old approaches to personal, leadership, and organizational development. It is a ground-breaking, science-based, approach beyond anything you’ve seen before. Thanks to the emerging discipline of neuro-axiology, pioneered by 6 Advisors, Inc., we have the means to help people and organization make dramatic value-centered improvements and therefore, performance. Neuro-axiology holds the keys to making quantum leaps in personal, leadership, organizational development by helping people move quickly and powerfully from a self-centered to a value-centered approach to leadership, life and work. In this whitepaper, we will describe the science and mechanics of this extraordinary process and what you can do to immediately begin realizing its benefits. We hope and believe that what you will learn herein will mark the beginning of a journey that will result in a fundamental paradigm-shift what you see possible for yourself, your organization, and the world
