Have your actions been matching your words? Have the employees in your organization been getting their work completed in the ways its desired values are written? If your answer is “no” to either of these questions, you and your organization are most likely experiencing performance issues and not reaching an optimal potential. Since values demonstrate “how” you do what you do, your daily decisions and actions portray your ways of being and doing. Values shape behaviors and help to ensure your vision comes to fruition with the most effective and efficient approaches. They answer the questions, “How do we get our work done around here?”, or “How do I build a relationship with someone?”, or “How do we function as a team or family?”.
