Instill Core Values: Turn core values from a poster into the lifeblood of your organization. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798878394741)

"Unlock the Power of Core Values: How One Book Can Transform Your Organization"

Discover the life-changing results of implementing core values in your organization and how it can lead to a thriving and healthy workplace.

Does your organization have core values doing nothing more than hanging on the wall and collecting dust?

If we boil down all the literature over the last decade on healthy organizations most of it could be simplified into one key trait: Do we have a strong set of core values that we live every day?

In my own experience I have found many tools that do a great job of helping any organization quickly develop and define core values. What I have found painfully lacking is practical advice on how to instill core values into an organization. Creating core values is an exercise in futility if they aren't going to become a key guiding light in how the organization operates.

This book focuses exactly on that, how to effectively take core values and make them the lifeblood of your organization. I'm not going to spend time arguing about the benefits of core values, how to recognize great core values, or how many core values you should have. All of that has been done. But too often some great core values are developed, some posters might be made, and a few attempts to instill them in the culture happen, and then ... and then nothing. They sit on nice posters vaguely being referenced, but never being brought to life. I've lived this experience on more than one occasion.

What's included in this handbook:

• How to review and test your core values to ensure a successful launch.
• How to communicate your core values in a way that resonates with employees, making them an integral part of your organizational culture.
• Avoid the common pitfalls of the Gift Card/Email program, use company swag instead of pointless posters, and effectively celebrate and reinforce core values in action.
• Learn how to easily and effectively implement personal recognition in expressing gratitude and appreciation for value-driven behavior.
• Establish a structured process to ensure alignment with core values and continuously improve in practice.
• Develop a method that encourages employees to publicly recognize and celebrate their peers for living core values.
• Align your hiring, firing, and reward processes with your organization's core values to ensure a consistent and values-driven workforce.

This book skips all the fluff and provides real-world examples of lessons learned the hard way, practical insights, and research-backed strategies.

If you are a leader, HR professional, or manager this book will provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to cultivate a culture where core values are not just a statement but a way of life.
