This week on “Defining Core Values”, we’re going to refine our list and ensure that it is not only representative of your culture, but that it is good for the business. Over the last few weeks we’ve talked about how to develop this list and how to give each value a name to make it memorable. Now, it’s time to ask yourself how they can be applied to the business.
It’s important to ensure you take this step seriously and think through how each member of your team will use these core values to move the business forward. At the end of the day, your herd should be working towards a common goal. So, take a look at the 3-5 Core Values you have on your list and ask yourself a few questions to make sure that they are a good fit:
- Will this value help us make decisions?
- Is the value memorable?
- Will each employee embrace the meaning in their day to day tasks?
Once you have the answers to the questions above you are very close to the end of this process. Ensure you include your herd in the conversation.
Check in later this week for our last step of Defining Core Values.
