■ Different organizations reflect and endorse different values, and each organization’s success depends on having people in it, especially leaders, who promote its value system. Some people may be ideally suited for theoretical organizations such as universities, economic organizations such as corporations, aesthetic organizations such as performing groups, social organizations such as human service agencies, political organizations such as political parties, or religious organizations such as churches, synagogues, and mosques. Mismatches can be stressful for both the individual and the organization. Examples include the social person who gives away the store, the individual who uses religious position for personal power, and the art curator whose priority is profit. Consider your own values.

What type of organization, if any, would be most appropriate for you?
