Do Good To Lead Well with Craig Dowden

Not All Values Are Created Equal


Listen Later

What happens when an organization fails to define its core values, allowing them to become mere decorative words on a wall rather than the guiding principles they are meant to be? Join me as I draw inspiration from my recent conversation with Garry Ridge, the Chairman Emeritus and former CEO of the iconic WD-40 Company. 

While the terms are often used interchangeably, I talk about the crucial distinction between values and beliefs and use real-world scenarios where lack of clarity leads to confusion and inconsistency. Together, we'll explore how to translate values into actionable behaviors that serve as anchors and navigational compasses for individuals and teams alike. Last but not least, we examine why organizations benefit from having a values hierarchy. 


What You’ll Learn:

• How to transform organizational values into actionable strategies.

• The impact of core values on effective decision-making.

• Ways to enhance integrity within the organization.

• Strategies to improve team cohesion through shared values.

• The power of a values hierarchy.
