Vision, mission, and core values… could you recite your organization’s ones off the top of your head, without peeking? Truth be told, many people can’t and that might be the root cause of why some companies are struggling in today’s economy.
My special guest today is HR professional Andrew Stoute and he’s simplifying how to drive your company’s vision, mission, and core values at work. When you’re crystal clear on all three and you ensure your teams embrace and adopt them as well, you’re creating a compass to guide every move on why your organization exists, who you serve, where you’re headed next, and how you make big decisions.
Here’s how.
My special guest today is Andrew Stoute and he’s simplifying how to drive your company’s vision, mission, and core values at work.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- How he defines vision, mission and core values for the modern workplace.
- Why it’s important for an organization to teach their workforce about these three elements and not just treat them like buzzwords.
- When companies say they are a “family” - why you might pause on saying that in the future as it might not necessarily be a good thing.
- Sadly, people make assumptions about others they work with all the time. He shares how people leaders can be a great role model to value one another, your diverse opinions and backgrounds, and begin to reverse this behavior.
- …and ultimately, what you should do if you notice your senior leadership are NOT upholding the values of the company in the key decisions they make… How to influence (and hopefully, course correct) as an HR executive advisor for your organization.
Q: Are you ready to learn how to drive your company’s vision, mission, and core values at work? If yes, this one is for you.
It’s time to #DoTheThing!
