"""The Values Toolkit is the ideal complement to the Owner's Manual. Dr. Howard provides useful learning and development, consulting, and coaching tools that are ideal for personal and professional use at the individual and team levels. Each resource is presented in a way that can easily be applied or adapted."" John L. Bennett, Ph.D. Associate Professor; McColl School of Business, Queens University of Charlotte ""With his usual wit, charm and extraordinary insights, Dr. Pierce Howard has taken on the difficult topic of values and turned it into a book that is clear, comprehensive and a significant contribution to the literature. Pierce challenges the reader in the conclusion, 'Know who you want to be and make that who you are.' This book is the perfect tool to do just that."" Judy Nelson, J.D., M.S.W., Certified Executive Coach Redondo Beach, California ""What a book! I wish I had it when I started as a manager. This would have been a great road map to manage myself and those around me. Pierce has a way of breaking down even the most complex topics into bite-size comprehensible pieces. I will share this with others in the industry. Thank you!"" Ashley Lesko, Ph.D., Instructor Harvard Extension School ""As if Dr. Howard's book The Owner's Manual to Values at Work wasn't enough, Dr. Howard has developed a toolkit that provides pivotal support to the values research in his book. The activities and scripts outlined in the toolkit will facilitate the exploration and clarification of individual and organizational values-a practice that is essential to the health and sustainability of organizations."" Liz Leal Conrad, Learning and Development, Talkcampus; Amherstview, Ontario, Canada ""As amalgamated creatures, humans present a major challenge to scientific processes, especially concerning such indeterminate characteristics as desires and motivations. Pierce Howard rethinks earlier attempts at values clarification and injects his ideas into a most usable format for people at almost any level. By employing Dr. Howard's process, one may certainly understand him/herself better, affirm their values, and/or utilize the suggested techniques to make desired, fundamental changes to deeply held life patterns. In any event, it can be of seminal use for personal and professional growth. Creating such a practical tool from theoretical constructs denotes genius."" J.C. (Ted) Troutman III, D.Min., Senior Pastor Mt. Pisgah United Methodist Church, Greensboro, North Carolina ""Ever the researcher with a commitment to application, Dr. Howard leaves ""no stone unturned"" when exploring the subject of ""Values at Work"" and delivers us a book that is comprehensive, insightful, personal, engaging, and highly applicable. Reading this book has transformed my notion of values from nebulous to sharp, from afterthought to front and center, from bland to exciting. As a practitioner, this new understanding has allowed me to complete, expand, and solidify my view of ""The Person"" as a living organism with a unique stable core and high potential for evolving and changing over time. If traits uncover our ""built in"" qualities, values provide us with a window into what's important to each of us at a particular point in time. I now see that both of these perspectives are critical for sound decision making not only at work, but also in life. Thank you for enlightening us yet again, Dr. Howard!"" Monica Vergara, President Business Impact Associates, Grand Rapids, Michigan ""The Values Toolkit is full of thoughtful and useful exercises to help in the discovery, change, and maintenance of values for both the individual and team. A great companion piece to both the The CentACS Values Profile(TM) and The Owner's Manual for Values at Work."" Mark D. Whitmore, Assistant Professor M&IS College of Business Administration, Kent State University"
