ValuesTo work in an organization whose value system is incompatible with one’s own condemns a person to frustration.
~Peter Drucker
![Page 30: Ed Batista, The Art of Self-Coaching @StanfordBiz, Class 9: SUCCESS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5878f9771a28ab49608b617d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
A value systemIf you worship money & things, you will never have enough. Worship your own body & beauty, you will always feel ugly. Worship power, you will end up feeling weak & afraid.
~David Foster Wallace
![Page 31: Ed Batista, The Art of Self-Coaching @StanfordBiz, Class 9: SUCCESS](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070515/5878f9771a28ab49608b617d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A value systemThe really important kind of freedom involves attention & awareness & discipline & effort & being able truly to care about other people & to sacrifice for them, over & over.
~David Foster Wallace
