With the surge in shortened communications, such as Twitter and text messaging, there seems to be a loss in the nickels and dimes of social interactions.  Those small but valuable tokens are the words “please” and “thank you.”  I know, you only have 140 to 160 characters to get your point across.  I know you’re busy and moving quickly.  Just remember, everytime you choose to have an interaction with a person, be sure to drop them a nickel or a dime.  Just like compound interest at the bank, those nickels and dimes turn into dollars later.

Core values serve the purpose of defining who we hire, fire, promote, de-mote, etc. They are behaviors and tell your employees, managers, and leaders how to behave.

When we are unsure about what next steps to take, looking to our core values leads us in the right path. A few of ours are:

• Always deal with fact. Never assume.

• Do what is best for the customer.

• If you do not know, ask.

• Follow your heart, but… if you are ever in doubt, shout it out.

• Deliver more than what is promised.

These values guide any of us in the right direction with clients and each other. They are the guide – a roadmap for action that lives every day in your organization. If your company has not identified your core values, let us know. We can help you identify them and bring them to life in your company.
