		<description>Hi Joel,
Great series. For the old-fogey research community, I love your #10.

However, your #9 bothers me, &quot;Staying ahead of changing societal and personal values.&quot; Sure, a marketer can be more successful by staying on top of trends, though I&#039;m uncomfortable of how you frame values as levers of strategy. Sure, you can embrace values to calculate packaging, product ingredients, labeling, messaging and shopping experience. But that&#039;s a framework of calculation and gamesmanship. In our world, we need fewer marketers pursuing strategy and gamesmanship for the purpose of their own advancement. Instead, we need a greater, genuine alignment of personal values with marketer purpose, intentions, behaviors and outcomes.  Greater competitiveness and market success will become a by-product of a purpose-driven existence. That&#039;s the fundamental core missing from so many marketers, the people that work within those organizations and the stakeholders whom they interact in the world with: a misalignment of purpose.</description>
