Identify, Define, Reinforce: A Framework for Core Values
Episode Summary
Most leaders can name their core values. Almost none can tell you the last decision they made because of one. To fully integrate them into your culture, you need to consistently reinforce them.
Key Points:
Core values only guide decisions when they're clearly identified.
A value without a written definition can mean something different to everyone who interprets it.
Values have to be continually reinforced.
