Reflecting your personal values and associations as a think tanker

No matter if you are at the beginning of your think tank career or further down the road, to reflect your associations and values at the workplace and being aware of them will help you immensely in your collaboration with colleagues as well as in managing yourself. These templates will help think tankers to consider their values, prioritize them, and create their own personal value wheel. They will additionally help think tankers to identify typical fields of tension in everyday working life, such as whether they prefer prioritizing their own research, or feel more comfortable when they are fully dedicated to administrative and leadership responsibility. Only if we are aware of these areas of tension can we navigate them effectively. 

We encourage you to complete these templates with your team to create a deeper understanding of each other's needs and ways of working, and to foster a working environment in which all team members can thrive.
