The document discusses complex adaptive systems and values. It notes that values are the "dark matter" that underlie human relationships and drive the emergence of patterns from chaos. Aligning words and actions based on clearly defined personal or brand values can build trust and authenticity by creating a shared system focused on those values. Clearly articulating values is powerful for guiding behavior and interaction.

Dark Matter accounts for up to 70% of the mass of Galaxies like the Milky Way. Even though dark matter can’t be seen, scientists know that it must be present because they can see the effects of its gravity over time as it pulls on the orbits of stars and galaxies.

A quick Quantum Theory lesson. Science stumbled on the fact that the building blocks of life contain “things” that change form as they respond to each other
In the quantum world, relationships aren’t just interesting; to many physicists, they are all there is to reality. Margaret Wheatley - Leadership & The New Science

The goal of identifying your core values is to align your words with your behavior authentically. It is NOT about changing your behavior.
Forget transparency.
“I would start by reflecting and examining what my "hard-wired" values are, the ones that I've had since I was around 7 years old. And I would ask myself if those values are consistent with how I want to live my life and pursue my dreams. If so, great. If not, it takes constant awareness and consciousness to change them.
Next I would reflect on what values I truly want to embrace in the course of my life and the pursuit of my goals. What can I truly commit to, in good times or bad, when it serves my short term interests and when it does not. 
Then I would whittle the list down to no more than 10. And I would define, in detail, what those values truly mean to me - how I will express them through my behavior.” - Bill Leider

Example: We place great value on ideas - all ideas from any and all people and sources. We respect ALL ideas-and the people who express them. We believe that there are NO BAD IDEAS. All ideas are valuable to our process of learning and growing. We encourage people to speak out, to give a voice and a life to their ideas. We know that not every idea will be implemented or acted upon. Some may prove unworkable; others may not be used for any number of reasons. Some may not be put into action as given, but might serve to spark other ideas. That is the value of every idea.
Example: The way to encourage and foster the continuous flow of ideas is to value & honor their source, i.e. the people who provide them. We are committed to accepting ideas without judging them based on whether or not we agree with them. That does not mean that one must agree with every idea. But we can suspend our judgment for a brief time in the process of embracing and valuing another person's perspective. We can & must do this with sincerity & respect. That is how to live the value. That is what we are committed to do. We will not tolerate the dismissal of ideas.
