Values Run Your Firm
Every company has values, but few effectively communicate them. When values are carefully defined and understood, everyone knows the right and wrong way to make day-to-day decisions. But too often, values provide no actionable guidance. To quote the Harvard Business Review: “Most values statements are bland, toothless, or just plain dishonest. And far from being harmless, as some executives assume, they’re often highly destructive. Empty values statements create cynical and dispirited employees, alienate customers, and undermine managerial credibility” (July 2002, Harvard Business Review).
