The difference between a norm and a value was described to me with an
example.

You might have the value to have repect. The norm is then that you
*must* have respect.

Consider however the following process:

Vision=> Behaviour=> Result

A norm tries to do something about the behaviour. Thou shalt not...
A value is looking at results an rejecting some results.

If you just consider the values and look for shared values, you don't
have control over the results. It's rather naive to be disappointed
about some result or to be without understanding of different results.
The problem then is too much freedom.

If you want to control the results with norms the problem is that
altough people show specific behaviour, the results are still not what
was expected. The problem is that doing a job with motviation has
different results from doing a job without motivation. the problem then
is too little freedom.

Both approaches, you migth recognize political approaches in them, fail
because the real reason for specific result lies with the vision of people.
