How do your values drive the organization?

Posted by jehoshuakilen in Branding, Business, Marketing on 10 12th, 2009 | Comments

How will you interact with people?

One of the first steps to building a quality organization is determining what your organizational values will be.  Values are the code a person lives by, the ideas and concepts that they use, consciously or unconsciously, to make every decision.  Your company is no different.

Whether or not you actively craft these values, they will exist regardless.  You will either make them happen or your every decision will bring them about automatically.  The choice is yours to either take control of your life or let up to chance.

Enlivent is an example.  Our main values are teaching, giving, learning, and fostering meaningful communication, and all of our actions, products, and business strategy decisions fall along those lines.  The same could be said for any organization, for profit or nonprofit.  How you decide to interact, to offer your product or services, will determine the quality of your organizational performance.

What are your values and how will they move your business?

    Hi Jehoshua...Wow! theres a whole lot of stuff I could piggy back on here. Values reveals possibilities, priorities, focus. one person told me the other day that 'this generation has so much available resources, information etc yet is one of the least focused of generation.' Maybe thats because of a lack of 'values.' With so much available, so many choices and options maybe values are harder to define. Anyway thanks for provoking thought.
