FIVE REASONS ORGANIZATIONS FAIL TO GET CORE VALUES ADOPTED

1/ A lack of clarity on how consistently they should be practiced.

So employees and managers are left wondering, "yes, ethics is important, but should I really keep that star employee accountable?"

2/ A lack of clarity on whether employees are protected from the costs of practicing Core Values.

So they are left wondering, "yes, sustainability is important, but should I push for greener suppliers even if it will cause delays to the project?"

3/ Managers talking too infrequently about Core Values.

So their employees are left wondering, "yes, safety was yesterday's priority, but is it still relevant today? Or did the priorities change?"

4/ Managers are trained on what are the company's Core Values but not on how to demonstrate them.

So, they are ineffective at getting them adopted.

This is akin to giving a pencil and a picture of an owl to a manager and expecting him to draw another one well. It doesn't work.

5/ Compliance to Core Values does not matter or non-compliance is given a pass.

So, employees fostering Core Values are left wondering "why am I doing the effort, if it doesn't matter?"

And those who didn't adopt the Core Values are left wondering, "why should I do the effort?"

6/ These are just some of the reasons Core Values are ignored.

A big part of my work over the last nine years regarded how organizations can foster Core Values in a practical and effective way, not just to check a box on a compliance list.

7/ Next week, I'll do a free Zoom Talk on how you can get Core Values adopted in your organization

It will be recorded and shared on my newsletter, but if you assist live you can ask questions in the Q&A
