The CK Daily – Core Values
Happy Friday, folks! What are Core Values? And how do they impact us?
I’ll start with a brief definition. Core values serve as guiding principles for words, actions, and strategies. They underlie all activities, including how an organization’s team members interact with each other, customers, partners, and vendors.
Here is a Harvard Business Review article that goes more in-depth on core values.
Here is our list of core values:
Do The Right Thing
Honor Our Commitments
Build Processes That Don’t Fail
Make It About Relationship
Be A Model

Have a great weekend!
Chris
