Stable Partnerships are the Building Blocks

with each other.• A specific way of relating with each

other that stabilizes the relationship.• Each person is responsible for the

quality of relationship between the other two people.

Core Values Principles without which life wouldn’t be worth living

Core Values are universal and cut across all cultures.

Acceptance in a given culture is a function of accurate identification of surface and deep values of that culture.

Find common values that unite the tribe

Focus on alignment and resonance around core values, not on agreement

Noble Cause

• A common vision representing the yearnings of a tribe.

• A future state brought about through coordinated action.

• Appeals to people’s best efforts and passions.
