Part : Discussion

In the article “Managing Oneself,” author Peter F. Drucker states that “What one does well – even very well and successfully – may not fit with one’s value system”. How do your values play a role in the groups, organizations, or career opportunities you decide to be a part of? Is it important for your values to be aligned to that of that particular organization? Why or why not? How might this relate to your overall purpose? Use content from the article to support your response.

Good Afternoon, Classmates!

Hope everyone is having a great day! My values play a huge role in the career opportunities I decide to be a part of. I am in the Pharmaceutical industry, so it is extremely important and crucial for me that my values are aligned with my organization. I have tremendous integrity and respect for my career, because we are literally helping people live longer than they are supposed to. Through horrific cancer diseases, we are able to make miracles and have people relieved, when they thought that the option will never be realistic. It is crucial for me to keep these values in the workplace because it constantly reminds me that I have a special role in my career, and helping people live longer than planned is a blessing within itself. This relates to my overall purpose because in general I am all about respecting one another no matter where you are from. It helped me transition into the pharmaceutical industry because I was raised with these values all my life, so I always come with respect and dignity. Have a great weekend everyone!
