  13. Communicating to different value sets (Rose, C., Dade, P., Scott, J., 2005) • Three categories of value sets • Prospectors • Settlers • Pioneers AASHE 2012

  14. Prospectors Live in the now, for today, and seek rewards in terms of fashion, status, success, achievement and recognition, and are unconcerned with belonging, security or identity because they have that already. What do you think about climate change? “That is not my problem unless it affects my prospects for achievement and success” AASHE 2012

  15. Settlers • Tend to look backwards, to yesterday (which was better) and dislike anything new or different as this threatens identity, belonging, security. • What do you think about climate change? • “That’s not a problem unless it immediately affects my family, my local area, my identity, my traditions” AASHE 2012

  16. Pioneers Looks forwards, both in time and to new horizons: they like change, discovery, the unknown so long as it is ethically acceptable but are unworried about status because they have already met those needs. What do you think about climate change? “It’s a problem” AASHE 2012

  23. “To lead people, walk beside them … As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate … When the best leader’s work is done the people say, ‘We did it ourselves!’”Lao-Tsu AASHE 2012
