Core Values
A principle that guides an organization's internal conduct as well as its relationship with the external world.
A company decides for itself what values it holds to be core

‹#›
Core Values
Company’s tend to only have a few core values
Between 3 and 5 (Only a few values can be truly “core”)
‹#›
Developing Core Values
An organization must push with relentless honesty to define what values are truly central.
If more than 5 are chosen, an organization may be confusing core values (which do not change) with operating practices or business strategies
Values must stand a test of time
Once a preliminary list is drafted, a question should be asked of each one.
If the circumstances changed and penalized us for holding this core value, would we still keep it.
If yes, then the value is not core.

Examples of Core Values
Corporate Social Responsibility
Science-based innovation
Being a pioneer- not following others
Creativity, Dreams, and Imagination
The right to freedom of choice
Hard work and individual productivity
Encouraging individual initiative
Never being satisfied
Fanatical attention to consistency and detail
