Abstract

Departing from a specific experience at the 1998 POD conference, the values of the organization—most specifically and directly the “valuing of peopk”—were challenged and put to the test of whether or not we genuinely and sincerely strive to actualize our values. This situation is generalizable to our daily professional and personal lives, and the essay invites readers’ reflection through an examination of our values in combination with the story. The challenge continues, and the test is not finished.
