I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

I have been following the US elections fairly closely. It’s interesting to see how partisan they are and how people can take the same data point and reach quite opposite conclusions. People claim their views are based on values but it seems that what these values mean varies enormously.

My hunch that this amount of difference is actually quite natural and normal. And it makes me doubt very strongly much of what is said about organisations getting their people aligned around values.
