"Business driven by fundamental core values will weather any economic storm."
The strength of your brand will be a function of the extent to which your stated core values are the consistently demonstrated values of your leadership team and employees.
The greatest source of stress for you and your management team will be found in the disparity between your stated core values and the values demonstrated through daily actions.
If one of your core values is "respect" and several members of your management team are disrespectful to other employees (which most people are when triggered) there will be a "disconnect" between stated and demonstrated values.
We have a client that has as one of their values "anything is possible." When a member of their management team is in a triggered state, "nothing is possible." In fact, any divergent thinking seems to them to be "impossible." When triggered we operate from a part of the brain that drives either/or thinking. Once recovered from their triggered state it is much easier to entertain different points of view and move toward an "outside the nine dots" kind of solution.
During our teambuilding process we help leaders and their teams learn how to "walk the talk" and live as the demonstration of the stated core values of their organization.
