Be True to Yourself about Your Company Values

There is nothing more important than a person’s values. Values define a person’s character and provide the means for making choices about what is important in life. When people bring a strong knowledge of their own values to every situation and decision, they can expect consistent results in work and relationships. The key to successful leadership lies in knowing why you do what you do, which starts with knowing your own value system.

It is the same in work environment - to reach common goals, it's important to make sure the people you are working with are on the same page.

We know that core values drive a company’s culture and help define why this company is special, unique, and why it provides value to employees, customers and the community. They are statements of principle that guide decision making by everyone involved in the business. Each company’s business model is different. To meet their needs, they use different methods that they feel will help them achieve the same results. For example: some companies choose to write down their values and list them as part of their mission statement while others integrate their values into employee onboarding training programs.
