Living under multiple value systems involves an understanding and commitment to a system of checks and balances. Depending on the situation or circumstances in which a decision may be made one value system may be more appropriate than another in relationship to the decision. Individuals need to have the conviction to stick to and follow their own convictions but have the foresight to see when the values of others may be better suited for the situation.
Having worked at the management level in several organizations I can understand the reasons behind certain policies even though personally I would handle the situations differently. At my current employer of the YMCA we have certain policies on payments for programs, guests visiting our facilities and various other areas. At this same employer our CEO has another set of values that impact how we handle all these areas. Bring into the individual values of those who work there and there is a melting pot of values all trying to work together. The balance is in following the policies of the facility, while honoring the values of the CEO and staying true to your individual beliefs.
