“We believe a sure way of growing our company is to clearly state our values and instill them in our associates. Values are beliefs that do not change over time; they guide our decisions and actions.”
Built From Scratch, Bernie Marcus/ Aurther Blank
Here is the recipe from great organizations. Businesses, companies, churches and even families. We need to decide what is important to us. What are the things that make us-us. What are our non-negotiables? John Maxwell says we need to decide how we want to manage our lives and what values we live by early in our lives and then manage our lives based on those decisions.
Clarity. It is the one thing keeping most people, most employees, most churches and most companies from reaching their full potential. Bernie and Aurther said, “clearly state.” You cannot grow great organizations without clearly defined goals and values followed by living them and instilling them in everyone!
