Think on these things.🤔Sam Walton founded a values-driven company that today is grounded in four core values: respect, service, excellence, and integrity. These values are timeless. When our behaviors are aligned to those four values, we'll build trust, create the right environment for our teams, and generate success

One of the insights I got out of this conversation with Stephanie Golik and Michael Saloio, co-founders of Huddle, is that if you build a culture of integrity, many other important values fall into place as well. We discuss integrity culture and more, here https://bit.ly/3TYBsHt

Clearly documenting and repeatedly discussing your company's Core Values makes hiring, onboarding, feedback, and firing easier than you thought possible. They lay out the ground rules for how to be a successful team member and create clear vocabulary for what type of behaviors (and attitudes) are required to thrive in your team's culture. We often start this formulation process by simply describing the team members who embody our company. Then we can focus those to Core Values that are representative, not just aspirational. And then you have to actually use them! Talk about them until everyone on your team can talk about them to a stranger. Failing to establish Core Values is seeting your team up for miscommunications and frustrations. Anyone have great team values they'll share with us? #smallbusinessowner #smallbusiness #corevalues

From our blog: "Core values are the fundamental beliefs and principles that guide an organization's actions and decisions, and they play a critical role in shaping the culture and identity of a company." Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eUP8KKKD

What is excellence? How do we commit to excellence in a strong, positive way that allows all of us to thrive? How do we be mindful of the ways that white supremacy culture can creep into our work and the ways we attempt to live out our values? Forged Ed's founder Karima Wilson and I facilitated some conversations around the core value Commitment to Excellence with the team at KIPP NYC! Check out the ways they're teasing apart how to make this value live out in a way so that everyone can thrive and the ways this value might show up in ways that oppress. Let's commit to building a world where all of us can thrive. What is excellence to you? Let me know in the comments!

At Longyards, our journey is guided by a set of core values that define who we are and how we operate.

In the corporate world, belief systems often refer to the core values, principles, and cultural norms that guide the behavior and decision-making of an organization. Beliefs can include notions about transparency, accountability, innovation, customer service, and ethical conduct. A strong belief system can help unify employees, drive performance, and shape the company's reputation. It's essentially the "DNA" of the organization, influencing everything from hiring practices to strategic direction.

This is a really interesting piece from Martin Osler, our Chief People Officer. Martin discusses how limiting generational labels can be and how, at JC, we support people as individuals and value a diverse range of perspectives. #People #Careers

What lies at the heart of your organization's values? Is it fairness, collaboration, kindness, and improvement? These are some of the fundamental behaviors that shape our company culture. Explore the rest of our core values here: https://bit.ly/3YW8NoC

VALUES MATTER: J&J is believed to be one of the first companies to put its corporate culture into words. And its beliefs are as strong today as they were 80 years ago. https://lnkd.in/e2fBNzAA
